True in most cases yes. It's good that you have a Firewall at least. That would prevent most attacks on you from the Internet. :)

OK, I had a problem 10 years ago with this blaster worm thingie. I just restored my Ghost disk image and the problem was solved in 10 minutes.

It so happens that my license for Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 ran out about 2 days back. I'm pondering about getting the 2011 version instead of renewing my own. A friend suggested McAfee and some other name which I forgot. Which ones do you people use? I'm open to suggestions. Suggestions: Kaspersky 2011(mine), Trend Micro, NOD32 and Microsoft Security Essentials as of now. Thank You!

I swear by MSE. I have sworn at Norton and AVG. Interestingly, I have just finished reading a comparative review of AV suites and the 'N POS' came second and AVG third. So, either I am a bad judge, or they have improved out of all recognition in their most recent incarnations. The winner was Trend BTW.

No, no, no, no and no... this is not an opinion, it's a dark religion... be careful on what you say... at the next mistake they'll come next to your door to take you to a dark place from which nobody has come back... :suss: :laugh:

I forgot the exact website where they used to compare all of the products every year (or was it every month?). That one had a detailed explanation of all suites. Maybe the one you're talking about? I used to use AVG for about a year like 2 years back. Was somewhat okay but not quite up to the mark. Norton however has quite a name for itself. :rolleyes:

This one was a magazine review. I know paper and ink is a bit old fashioned but I'm that sort of guy.

I don't use Internet Explorer, Outlook, Download Pnography, or Binaries from the Internet not participate in social networking sites. I have been perfectly satisfied with scanning the few files I download with a scanner and running the malicious software removal tool.

Nah don't feel that way. I agree that digital books have come to take over these days but you still have everybody buying books/magazines because they are meant to be read in their original form: the smell of new paper and you know. :D That's actually better than straining the eyes on screens which emit radiation. :)

Most of the times my PC has been attacked by trojans/viruses coming from USB drives of friends who claim with confidence that they have never seen a virus in their PC at all. :sigh:
