Who needs Antivirus?

Featured Replies

Welcome to the year 2005. Where Anti-software is no longer needed!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hmm now I just have to hope I don't get a virus lol.

I did lose some marbles once :( It was a very sad day.

Well....thats nice....but how do you come to the conclusion that we need no more anti-virus? (by the way, we are practically in the year 2006)

I was at work... Maybe I was drunk from working too hard! Workaholic :shock:

Maybe he was working on somone else's computer and found it humerous that they had no antivirus installed? (I really have no clue..)

̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãââ Windows XP Media Center Edition

 

 

 

̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãââ Windows Server 2003

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. ;)

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.

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.

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. :)

Only the Viewer is installed so that is impossible ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Have you not heard of Windows Firewall? It works wonders...

Tech_Head's are noobs. They don't really know anything :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the guy died and no ones ever heard of it then how did you hear about it? :oops:

Fair enough then. I would try it, but I care a twitch too much about my comp. I'm fine with having AVG on it, even though it has never really found anything worthwhile.
