If you want to use Norton, then use 2001. Anything above that shows signs of serious bloat which increases by the year!Norton a go before what you say comes across as arrogance. Frankly I would rather be unsophisticatedly common and use antivirus than waste that hour of my time fixing the computer.
Do you ever download computer programs from the Internet? If you do, how do you know that they do not contain viruses?cdd wrote:If you don't do anything which goes against the grain of "common sense" you won't get a virus. I say this from experience: I have not got one virus despite the fact I've never had any virus software installed.
Excuse, you're calling my remarks flippant?

How do I know? Because my computer runs blissfully fast, and always has done. However, just to prove this, I did a quick virus scan and it found - just as I thought - no viruses.If you have never once used an anti-virus program then how do know you do not have a virus?
If you don't get a virus, why would you need to deal with it?let's not confuse that with being able to deal with them
If I may quote you...Oh and two tea's in attachment, no coffee.

You're forgetting that newspapers are out to make money, and since people get into a frenzy about viruses, putting "EASY TO FOLLOW TUTORIAL TO AVOID REALLY DANGEROUS VIRUS" really does sell, there's no doubt about it.Any virus that makes it to mainstream news programmes is usually worthy of being noted
Doesn't the very fact you can do this show the kind of market they're aiming at?If you completely uninstall then reinstall it after 12 months, you get another year's worth of free updates
Because I get all my programs from trusted sources. Also, doesn't the word "common sense" just cry out here?Do you ever download computer programs from the Internet? If you do, how do you know that they do not contain viruses?
Well, yes, because you haven't given any reasons as to why I'm on a "high horse". I've tried to reason my arguments everywhere possible.Excuse, you're calling my remarks flippant?
Indeed, common sense.The file size is what you have to watch when downloading things
It's common sense.They only do stuff if your stupid enough to realise "Documents.pif" isnt a virus.
Chris, this is not a dig, but you have come across as rude, arrogant, and extremely condescending. Whether you agree with me or not on this, this is how me and many other members have perceived your posts. It is up to you what you do about this.cdd wrote:Well, yes, because you haven't given any reasons as to why I'm on a "high horse".

I'm sorry, cdd, but I do agree with rts here. I believe that some of the points you have made are indeed true, but the way in which you have "reasoned your arguments" does come across as "rude, arrogant and extremely condescending".rts wrote:Chris, this is not a dig, but you have come across as rude, arrogant, and extremely condescending.
