Subject: Does anyone run with no virus protection?

I've had Kaspersky for about 3 years and it's about to run out. I was thinking about just going without it since it's just a pain in the ass to handle. My GF has had her oldest computer for 4 years(her mom uses it now) and it has never gotten a virus.

You know what is even more of a pain in the ass to handle?

A Virus.

I like how your sub box is full of science and political videos but your recommendations are full of anime girls kissing each other.

I went outside today. The graphics were AMAZING. The gameplay WASN"T.

Maybe I should cry for help
Maybe I should kill myself
Blame it on my ADD baby

Never used an anti-virus in 6 years. Never gotten a virus either.

Just be smart, and you'll be fine.

The black wind begins to blow... Okay... give me your best shot... If you're prepared for the void!

That wasn't the smartest thing for your GF to do. Unless she has a Mac, she should have gotten an Anti-Virus. Also, get Microsoft Security Essentials.

This coupled with Microsoft Security Essentials. I've never had any problems.

I find that Teh-Ziod is NOT attractive for the reasons
she/he does not correct format sentences, therefore for intelligent matured members of society that may interact with her/him, may find her/him UNattractive for the reason that she/he does not comprehend with their level to successfully have a conversation therefore it will be socially an awkward interaction which may be wanted to be avoided

second i do not find it physically possible for a PERSON to be a ice cream truck.

No need.

And that is why I hope no one here goes without antivirus software.

Correction, has never gotten a virus that she knows of.
The worst viruses are the ones you don't notice that steal passwords and card information. ZoneAlarm has a very nice free version if cost is an issue.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

I also have Firefox configured with all of this. The probability of getting a virus is pretty close to zero.

close to zero =/= zero.
