How come? I have no idea what's going on there; the view options we've mentioned should be just below the "Do not cache thumbnails" checkbox. This attachment shows one of the boxes you're looking for, the other should just be a few lines down from there.

If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out. Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer.
Without a firewall your computer is succeptible to being hacked and taken over. I am very serious about this and see it happen almost every day with my clients. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.
You should also scan your computer with program on a regular basis just as you would an antivirus software. Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically. Glad I was able to help.
