MONDAY, Nov. 26 (HealthDay News) -- A U.S. task force suggests that people at high risk for the hepatitis C virus should be screened, which includes those with a history of intravenous drug use and those who received blood transfusions before 1992.

But, the guidelines also address another, lower-risk group -- the baby boomer generation.

The new U.S. Preventive Services Task Force guidelines, released Monday and updated from 2004, take a somewhat softer stance than those of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which say that all baby boomers should get screened for hepatitis C. By contrast, the task force suggests that clinicians "consider" screening for this age group, which includes those born between 1946 and 1964.

Screening for hepatitis C involves a simple, inexpensive blood test. Unlike other types of hepatitis, there is no vaccine available for hepatitis C. Treatment typically involves a course of antiviral medication.

Hepatitis C is considered a silent killer because it is often symptomless. Undiagnosed and untreated, hepatitis C can result in liver cancer, liver failure and liver transplants.

Risk factors for hepatitis C infection include a history of blood transfusions before widespread adoption of screening and infection control measures, long-term dialysis treatment, exposure to hepatitis C in health care settings, having HIV/AIDS, tattooing in unregulated or unsafe parlors and IV drug use.

"Our recommendations are that people who are known to be at high risk -- such as people with a history of IV drug [use] and those who had blood transfusions prior to 1992 -- should be screened," said task force member Dr. Kirsten Bibbins-Domingo, an associate professor of medicine and of epidemiology and biostatistics at the University of California, San Francisco.

People at highest risk have about a 50 percent chance of being infected with hepatitis C; whereas people born between 1946 and 1964 have a 3 percent to 4 percent chance of being infected, she said.

Bibbins-Domingo said the task force took less a stringent stance on testing for all baby boomers because many people with hepatitis C will live for a long time without progressive disease, and current treatments don't help everyone. "We have effective treatments, but not everybody who has hepatitis C will go on to develop liver failure or liver cancer," she said. "We are in an era where treatments are rapidly evolving, and recommendations may change as treatments get better."

U.S. Task Force: Baby Boomers Should Be Tested for Hepatitis C

When you think your PC has been infected by malware, but your antivirus package hasnt raised an alert, then its often possible to locate and remove the threat manually. But generally youll need a whole library of tools to get the job done: one to view your startup programs, another to check running processes, a file unlocker maybe, and the list goes on.

If you prefer the simple life, though, you could just download a copy ofUltra Virus Killer(UVK), which provides all the malware detection, removal and cleanup tools you need, in a single, free package.

There are modules to view running processes and the files theyre using, for instance. You can list and control Windows startup programs, services, drivers and more. An alternate streams manager looks for suspect NTFS streams; you get a program to help you delete files or folders, even if theyre in use; and there are modules to clean and repair your PC, even protect your Registry from modification, so maybe helping you to avoid infection in the first place.

If youve tried similar tools before then much of this will sound very familiar, but UVK offers far more than most of the competition. The Process Manager isnt some pale imitation of Task Manager, for example -- its specifically designed for malware hunting, with tools to search Google, run checks at Virustotal/ ThreatExpert/ Runscanner, verify a file signature, pause and resume a process, delete multiple processes at the same time, and more.

Theres much the same depth and power elsewhere. So you can use the Modules Manager to list loaded DLLs, for instance; submit them to VirusTotal and similar services until youve identified a threat; and then try to rename the module now, after killing a process, or on reboot: perfect for those stubborn programs which just wont die.

And if youve managed to kill some malware, then turning to the System Repair module will provide a host of functions to help clean up after any problems it might have caused, with tools to reset your host file and DNS to their default state; restore your PCs default group policies; reset your Registry and NTFS security settings; get Windows Update working again; install or update various key components (DirectX/ Java/ Flash/ .NET); clear all your temporary folders, re-register all Windows DLLs, and the list goes on.

There are, of course, lots of dangers here. The ability to delete a running process can help you remove malware, for instance, but it also allows you to kill critical Windows files. And UVK has plenty of similar low-level options which are generally very useful, but could cripple your PC if theyre misused (or just go wrong for some reason).

Ultra Virus Killerisnt a program to use unless you know what youre doing, then, and have a full system backup to hand.

But if that sounds like you, then theres no doubt that UVK has a great deal to offer, as the program is absolutely packed with powerful malware hunting, maintenance and repair options.
