Pedrito Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Simple answer is...paranoid! :PI say that because I never got a virus into my computer. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator DKT27 Posted July 8, 2012 Administrator Share Posted July 8, 2012 I scan only when I feel like, about once in two weeks, a bit lazy. So yea, a live AV helps my laziness. :PPlus prevention is better than solution. :D- Avitar, I believe. :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudrax Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I use antivirus because, it protects me from browsing harmful malicious sites, warns me if a pen drive is infected and doing so it prohibits all the possible damages or harmful modifications that could be done to my system without it.Well, the damages and modifications done to the system can be repaired manually without antivirus but this will consume time and eat up the brain too.An antivirus can't give 100% detection, it's true but it protects you from the most usual threats out there and to get infected by the unusual rare threats, you might be the luckiest one or had some enmity to some software programmer.

dcs18 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I don't fancy an AntiVirus program, either - have got the V6 running on the system as I'm beta-testing it (personally not too anal about it, though.) :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darko999 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 I think and I believe, that Antivirus in general are not really necessary, if you know the basic about surfing on internet, as well as common sense for downloading files, etc. You won't get infected. However, personally I use some security suite because I download and use hundred of software everyday, many of them are working by cracking method... I could be smart enough to download the clean and proper files for each of them, but I'm a human, and sometimes I can fail, like a boss, and it has already happened to me, so to avoid that chance, or at least to get close to the 100% successful ratio, I use a security suite, plus my knowledge to have a clean computer. Thats why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizarre™ Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 As long as there's a virus, there will be an anti-virus. Be it online or offline. Putting that aside, one of the most dangerous is ransomware. It's a class of malware which restricts access to the computer system that it infects, and demands a ransom paid to the creator of the malware in order for the restriction to be removed. Would you wait until it's too late to tighten your security? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shought Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 It's just a safety net in case my common sense fails (be it due to tiredness, alcohol consumption or just plain stupidity).A good defense is a layered defense and an AV is just a part of this :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CandyFace Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 I would not use common sense as the priority, but i like to take chances and see what happensI never trust what's lying on the internet but if you do then it's always nice to have something to proof you right or wrongjust in case of malware or like that.
