Viruses and bots?

[Julien]

Norton corporate edition isn't that bad. You guys might be thinking of the consumer edition.

ZING.


And guys give it up with the mac hatred, it's so circa 1995.

I've got AVG 7,5 (not the free one) on my laptop, and the startup is ungodly slow. I have to stop the daily hard drive scans just to open a program. I have to say that I haven't had any viruses though, some adware here and there, but that's relatively easy to rid the computer of. Before this I was using a free (one year) version of Norton something or other and had a vundo virus on the laptop on numerous occasions. Obviously, it being free, makes one wonder if the scans are as thorough as the paid subscriptions. Has anyone else had the same experience with the paid subscription of AVG Internet Security (ver. 7,5)?

It's funny that people like you think you are better because you use a PC, yet you call Apple users elitists.

Moreover, the PC users feel that they can make completely unfounded claims such as the one below, without referencing any sources at all.

you do realize macs are MORE vulnerable to attack than PC's right?

Please direct me to where I said that. OH RIGHT, you can't. Because I didn't. You just assumed it.

The cartoon is funny, I was making a joke. Everyone calm the fuck down before I lock this thread like all the other Mac vs. PC threads.

OP: I use AVG Free on my PC, and it seems to work well. I really haven't heard anything about picking things up from forums, but I don't get any spam emails or anything of the sort.
