Actually it is a very legitimate statement in an ideal world. The ignorance lies in the fact that if you are using an anti virus as a be all and end all to protection then you're an idiot that shouldn't be allowed access to the internet. Anti virus should be used as a back up to sensible net usage, i.e it is there for that one off occasion when you have checked the .exe source, when you are running the secure web browser with security addons when that one virus manages to evade them all and slip through.poiumty said:
The guy running the anti virus get's it stamped on before it does any damage the smug idiot that thinks he knows all so doesn't need any anti virus then spends three days hunting down a turd of a virus before having to reformat. To put it another way you can drive as safe as you like and not wear a seatbelt but what about that one time you encounter an idiot on the road, how glad will you be safe in the knowledge that you are a really safe driver as you sail through the windscreen?
My seatbelt happens to be Microsoft Security Essentials.
Been using MS Security Essentials since Norton 360 wasnt working with Win7. But I have Norton 360 v. 3 beside me. Will be installing it this weekend. It's a great program. Idk if it's that much better than MSSE, but my parents buy the 3-user Norton, so why not.
No antivirus so far. The number one reason being that I don't have the money to buy one, and all the "free" antivirus clients I've tried ended up being 30 day demos in disguise.
No viruses so far either. Just scan your PC every so often, know what to look for when you do, and use SMARTS. that's the main thing. It doesn't matter how great your virus protection is if you keep downloading "super_hot_porn.rar" files.

Norton to the rescue! Also Linux people stop bragging, if Linux suddenly becomes the most used then people will make a ton of viruses for it. Same thing with the Mac, although since its been around awhile it does have some. Windows=businesses, Businesses=lots of money to be hacked etc.
