AntiVirus Software is a scam[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#21)

Macs do not need antivirus software.

Linux systems do not need antivirus software.

Only Windows PCs require Antivirus software! Why? Because Microsoft Windows is fundementally architecturely flawed!

You will know that Windows is properly and robustly constructed when no AntiVirus software is required to connect to the internet.

Until then you are purchasing and using a defective product.

Dumbass, Macs and Linux don't need antivirus programs because no one bothers to write viruses for them like they do for PCs because they are a smaller market.

My experience with AVG[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#40)

My experience with AVG corp has been mixed. The product works well on the desktop side and (thank you eastern bloc hardcore geeks) you can even set up a local definition server on a LAMP box using cron, wget and Grisoft's genctf7 manifest creation tool. xenical , levitra , clomid , buy viagra online THAT works like a frickin' CHARM! What DOESN'T work reliably is the management database system on Windows XP (at any SP level); it just won't reliably operate, and the module on the client side can only be set to ignore this condition on a per-user basis (which is a terrible PITA).
