But you’re wrong about downloading porn as the only way to get a virus. Clearly you do not understand the windows operating system.
However, the need for Data security is always in proportion to the value of your data. In other words if your data isn’t worth very much, then you have less to fear by not protecting it as much as you could.
Common Sense 2009.
Clearly you don’t understand sarcasm or what I’m saying.
I use antivirus, I’m just saying that the best protection is just common sense.
I understand windows, I also understand that it is much more secure than people give it credit for, I also understand that it is very vulnerable because so many people use it.
I was using “pr0n” as an example, do you really think that I’m retarded enough to think that downloading porn is the only way to get a virus?!?!? :retard:
Tell me a better way to protect my data than a good antivirus program with daily scans, a good firewall, and a healthy dose of common sense.
Yeah, I was to lazy to read the whole thread.
Wait a second… wtf that was a joke? No wonder after searching Google for 30 mins i couldn’t find anything :3
You best be trollin.
Get Spyware Doctor with antivirus, it will cost more but! It won’t slowdown your system also get Iobit Advanced System Care it will fix hidden viruses for you. I only use these two programs and my PC stays in fine shape. I also have no firewall up, my modem has a built in firewall, and my third computer which is hooked up to the modem, has a firewall.
McAfee has kept me clean for three plus years, and I download bucketloads of files. The best part is, it’s free, because I’m a Comcast customer. I think that must be one of Comcast’s best-kept secrets.
MSN has free McAfee also, but I don’t use it because it has slowed down every computer I’ve tried it on BIG time especially during updates. However, I’ve never tried it on my main machine, mostly because of how it has acted on all the others.
Norton antivirus is pretty good, i alway saw the “virus block” message.
Trend Micro for me. Love it.
I use AVG Free + Spybot S&D + Common Sense and I never get infected.
Kaspersky is good.
Norton gives a zillion false positives, and it has parts that are very difficult to remove. Norton is not good.
I use AVG, but probably switching to Kaspersky when my license expires.
I use McAfee. It’s not your cheapest solution, but It works handily.
I haven’t used Norton for years because of it’s resource requirements, so I don’t have much recent experience with it, but if you are seeing a lot of virus blocked messages you should reconsider your web habits.
i second that AVG free is the way to go [ the one that ain’t free only consumes more memory]
Kaspersky’s quite good, relatively light on system resources, but by God is it complicated sometimes. I can’t really comment on how effective it is at blocking viruses though. I’ve got a hardware firewall set up in the house, and most of us have enough common sense anyway
I will say this however - Norton AV is absolutely rubbish
It looks as if i’m the second person to use [color=Red]Avast, I use free version because it comes with everything AVG pro comes with, [color=Red]but it’s FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
[color=Red]And why pay 80 dollars for something When you CAN get it for free and it’s better
poor guy…
so it turns out to be cheaper to avoid malwares.
