Just removed over 150 thousand viruses...
Off of a customer's computer...
![]() Yeaaa. AntiVir does a good job. It found all that, Norton 360 found none. What antivirus do you like?

i bet 98% or more are just cookies though. if you dont surf porm theres really no nead for anti virus.
i run adaware and spybot and i go to trend micro and do the online scan once a week, but thats it.

It says nod32 won for the last two years,and it was close this year,so imo that makes nod32 the better bet.

MOST It's not like the old days when people in Russia sat back and did it for fun. All those people get paid these days to stop it! Or to make money by selling peoples habits. I don't know a record but I have seen some VERY VERY VERY bad ones. |
