Guest andyizcool Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 He's right that you don't need an anti-virus ONLY if you have all these. *No Internet access. *No removable storage devices. *No dodgy programmers using your PC. Since that's how viruses get into your PC in the first place. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augsback Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 That's not true Andy, I don't have a anti-virus program and my computer is completely fine. Haven't had one for a year now since I've had my labtop. You just have to know what your doing and have the smarts of computers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannibal Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Fun. You're running VNC, so people can remote desktop into your machine, but you think you don't need antivirus to stop them planting nasties in it? Nor a Firewall to stop people remote-networking into your machine? I suppose you're rather trusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jargon Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 There are people who can use computers for 100 years, without anti-virus and never get a virus, most of the time it all depends on your own actoins. Having said that, it is still a good idea to have the protection there....just in case you happen to make the odd mistake. But to say that all the virus' are gone, now that is incorrect. But to say that you can avoid getting any viruses without anti-virus, now that can be correct. :) Resigned From Runescape - Alpha_120 --> Level 69 -ArenaScape-Join Clan UCORB ~ Rank #5 ClanClan members, need something?
