Virus Protection

~cornys~ · May 09, 2009 3:54 AM

I my self have been getting by without virus protection for the last 2.5 years. However if my parrents didn't have me they may have done lost their computer. I have fixed at least 10 virus but I don't know how to know when I have one and sometimes we loose files and data to them. Our back-up drive helped out everytime but you guys think that for somebody who is 14 and jobless is something like Norton worth it?

I find the files and (after manipulating them) I delete them. First Friday every month I devote a day to doing this.
I forgot last week so I did it today and it just got me thinking.

Feedback?

Also if anybody has any searching methods and/or deleteion techniques I could use them too. Thanks

Norton sucks.

Get Kaspersky. If you can't afford it or you don't want to buy it, find a free download of Malwarebytes on Google somewhere.

There's always SR's famous little quote "If you don't have Kaspersky, it's as good as having nothing."

I actually think I've read that on here before now that you mention it... lol...

Oddly I do have nothing... lol

I don't run antivirus protection on my computers, but I have Kaspersky installed on all the computers in my house that I don't use, as well as on all my relative's computers.

just in case right? I guess I probably should get one of the free ones or something.. lol... I know they are junk

Im currently running AVG8.5, Spybot Search&Destroy and Norton Ghost. Perfect combo.

Run Kaspersky. If you're going to run anything at all.

T3h0v4llu · May 19, 2009 8:23 PM

Try avast. Its free and cool.

Spyrorocks · May 20, 2009 7:16 AM

I used avast for a few years... the only good thing about it is its network shield, its updated quite a bit but even then, its not worth having its crappy virus protection over.

T3h0v4llu · May 20, 2009 11:54 AM

Avast is still better than "Spyrorocks' Leet Viruz Protectionz" which is a notepad file that says "dunt download pr0n plskthxbai thne yuo noe gte viruz".

Aicebo · May 20, 2009 3:52 PM

Well, it clearly shows that you don't know what you're talking about, T3h0v4llu.

T3h0v4llu · May 20, 2009 4:03 PM

Yeah, i guess the notepad file is good after all. I really should stop downloading pr0n.

RedDragonX · May 21, 2009 4:38 PM

That's a subject that won't be discussed on the forums. Please don't talk about it.

~cornys~ · May 23, 2009 3:34 AM

lol where did that come from... Well when you talk to your rat random things come out into the conversation often don't they guys? lol

Edit: Did I post this on the wrong thread? It doesn't sound like something I would have said here... lol.. I had to have done that.

T3h0v4llu · May 23, 2009 9:33 PM

Again, im not discussing the details of the pictures. Im just saying "kthxbai i loaded pr0n". See!?! I even use the internet slang correspondant for it! I think you are just trying to be important and to make an impression to the main admin!

Any mention of the subject regardless of content isn't exactly welcomed. If you want to continue walking the borderline of the issue by all means do but someday someone won't see it that way.

I have AVG 8.5 also. I also have Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware. <.<;

~cornys~ · May 25, 2009 5:12 AM

Yeah the rules on that are pretty cut and dry... Somekids might not know what that is yet for sure.. they will eventually but we don't want to be the ones to let them know....
