    why? what's so good for not having a anti virus in your pc? isn't it a necessity as far as pc safety is concerned?

    In my experience lang sa HOME computing,
    Some Antivirus software is a resource hog.
    Some Antivirus software complicates things, that should've been very simple.
    In short some Antivirus software are inefficient.

    Para din namang sasakyan ang PC, the most efficient safety mechanism is the user.

    Pde naman ma-prevent ang viruses and other malicious software kung filtered mga pumapasok sa PC e. So the most efficient filter is the user mismo .

    Ewan ko na lang sa ibang computing environments.

    So long as you don't surf pr0n sites or use p2p to download and then visit here. This site has a high (relatively speaking) incidence of spyware, at least compared to other forums when I make my rounds.

    It seems ok lately. But, I'm still not letting my guard down. The Mac Mini caught something when I used Safari here. It may also have been from my daughter using my Mini. Either way, I stopped using the Mini for surfing here.

    Whenever I surf here, everything in the arsenal's fully loaded and updated.

    The last time a trojan/worm/virus got through to my pc was back when I still used Windows 98SE around late 1999. The last time a virus did massive damage to my computer was way back when I was still using a Commodore Amiga A500, say 1990. And yes, I used to bootleg back then when I was still young, stupid, and relatively poor.

    Just wondering how often do you do finances/buy stuff online with that pc?
    My gaming pc is much more relaxed too. But, it's rarely on the web except when I play BF1942DCX/BF2 with relatives and my daughter when she plays WoW.

    This laptop I'm on now is for casual use as well. It's relaxed when I surf my trusted sites. But when I go to sites like here, it's "SHIELDS UP and ENGAGE CLOAK" time. There were at least a couple of times (here at Tsikot.com) back in 2006 when I encountered home page redirects as well as suspicious certificate errors, not to mention that 5 million views Taco Bell thread which was probably a DOS attack. So, I have reasons to take precautions.

    I have dualcores now. So antivirus software being a hog isn't a concern. I have cable broadband which is still quite fast with wide pipelines as well. I can surf, play online, and have AVG do a scan all at once without feeling the pinch.

    I do have a pc strictly for finances and it's "armed to the teeth".

    For those with no protection whatsoever. I hope you guys are familiar with rootkits. They're nasty little f****rs and hard to get rid of.

    I do have Symantec Endpoint Protection 11 which can prevent rootkit attacks and is both server and client level.

    +1. once i edited a document in my flash drive using a PC not mine and when i tried to access it using my laptop, the AV started screaming. 300+ docs infected in just over 30 minutes of editing.

    if you're wary of some AV being resource hogs viruses, adware and spyware can slow your system to a crawl.
