This is why i love my Mac. I dont get viruses.

I got enough anti virus software that it wouldn't hurt me either, but its always good to alert those who don't have those precautions.

AVG
Windows Defender
Notoron'
and some small name one

I'm pretty safe

[G-1000]

anti virus software what is that.

I dont need any of the shit. That is one of the best things about a mac. There is like only 2 virus out there that can effect it.

But if you run a pc you do need all the anti virus shit. But the bitch is it slows down the computer so much.

norton is beleived to slow cpu by roughly 20%. not exageration either

It does drag the computer down, but I only activate it when I'm gonna be doing alot of downloading.

That is a shit load.

[gixxerboy1]

Nortons sucks too. I had to get my comp fixed. I had 2 viruses and i had nortons and it was up to date.

[AnabolicBoy1981]

yeah, i think i cought that one. had to redo my whole comp

myspace is full of that shit

[SVTMuscle*]

I can never understand why someone plants viruses all over the web when all they do is mess with peoples computer, what do they get out of it? nothing... bunch of losers if you ask me.

well if you use cable like i do..i know for long island everyone is basically on the same network and its so easy to get information off neighbors computers..the only safe way is to disconnect internet when ur not using the comp

[Foskamink]

umm tehre are many free anti virus that are better then norton. norton is like mc donalds one of the first in its feild so it dominates. norton dose not block out most of the virus that are anouyin and hurt the pc. norton detection rate is very minimal to many other detectors. find a reliable adware scanner + virus protector. run norton first then others and see how many norton leaves behind its really terrible the amount of infected files and bytes that norton does not see.

I totally agree. Norton is old news. AVG is what I use on my computer. It's a really nice piece of software...doesn't bog the system down like Norton or McAfee. Oh, and the best part...IT'S FREE!!!!

[perfectbeast2001]

i clicked it. AVG and firewall went a bit mental. Im still alive though. Phew *wipes brow*

What about if...

The virus's were created and posted by the manufacturer's of anti-virus software. They have busineses to run and maintain.

No visus's, no anti virus software, no business, no money.

Things that make you go "hmmmmmmm."

[Snrf]

you would think if this was common knowledge myspace would delete it....


one more thing to make you go "hmmmmm"

Very interesting stuff right there......






I'm a PC guy, I dont have the paitence to learn an entirely new operating system, plus for the stuff I actually use the PC for, Firefox, AIM, music, porn, and Word, I dont think theres anything I need a Mac for.

[Prada]

I use my AVG and am very satisfied.

[SVTMuscle*]

I use my AVG and am very satisfied.

The free version ends Jan 15th.

[Prada]

The free version ends Jan 15th.

I know, its such a great product they probably want to cash in on their reputation. I'll find methods.


Also before I had a shitload of software, since I reprogramed my computer. I just keep a few and use AVG religiously and no problems, knock on wood

[l2elapse]

i want a mac

[Chemical King]

The free version ends Jan 15th.

just go to torrentspy.com and download the professional edition free of charge

thats what you think, some-one is uploading dodgey kiddie pics onto your hard drive as i type this.
or where they already there

[yourmom]

Why would anyone post a live link that would cause harm. I would disable that link. Mac users are not as safe as they once were. Myself I would never trade my pc for one.

This is something i think A LOT of people dont realize.

I just got nailed with Antivermin from myspace. I was prompted to d/load something to remove the blue drapes from their profile with Toms pic (youll know what i mean if youve seen it)
Than I notice a green leaf icon on the bottom of my computer and my comp started buggin out.
Every 30 seconds it kept springing javascript prompts saying i had a new different type of virus and would automatically take me to antivermins website (which i cant find now anymore) its not antivermin.com and i couldnt find it through google, i think it was fake actually now that i think about it.

they ask you to purchase the software after infecting you with the previous software that runs the virus script prompts.
not only that but even after you uninstall the initial software, the shit still stays on your computer. my brother had to go into dos's directory to get it out, and found out 4 other things were installed with the 1 package.

long story short, Tom from myspace is a deushbag.

ok, go disable it. =]

[PaRiS2005]

Yeah, I always feel bad for people who get a baby spam in their inbox. They obviously didn't use a pop-up blocker!

I know. But it happens all the time. Apart from the hackers that are either trying to earn money, or nerds that have been in the same clothes for 10 days writting viruses, there is no doubt in my mind nerds/idiots are employed by anti-virus software companies or openly do it themselves covering there tracks.

Billion dollar busniess.

Apart from government "hacker's" and "cycber crime fighters" who else are the cleverst people with a PC...

Anti-virus software companies in my mind.

Microsoft litter there software (Windows, now Vista) to bring business by producing uptodate "patches". Security "holes" and "gaps" appear almost daily.
