ot: anyone have a great solution to avoid viruses

[MCC]

This is correct. Get that and Malware Bytes, both free and you're good to go. Malware Bytes ALWAYS finds trojan horses, viruses, etc that Norton and the other clowns never find.

Oh, also...I would just like to post the word sex again.
Damn sexy.
Sexier than the crackpots in this video.


Still, am I the only one who is sort of missing sixy?
Come back sixy!

Aaaaaaand even better is the playlist it heads to once the RSF vid is done: Cyndi Lauper, Kajagoogoo (one of the seed crystals of the (epic) 80's thread), Outkast, Fatboy Slim - whatever man!

Recently got a nasty one on laptop and also desktop. Trust me when I say that it wasn't from prom sites. I've been using Norton but that's not working. Anyone has something that works.

If not, I 2nd the AVG recommendation. Also look at

Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2013 ​

Here is a great independent article rating the best antivirus software currently available: http://www.consumersearch.com/antivirus-software

I just use no script and that takes care of script based attacks, which as I understand it is 99.9999999% of them. I also scrub cookies all the time.

No Script is the answer.

Even if you go to streaming sports sites, it knocks out everything before it can get to me.

You do have to know what you are doing though and understand how websites work, etc

Washing your hands is widely considered the cheapest and best way to prevent the spread of viruses.

stay away from prom.

Iv'e had many attempted attacks on this site (SyracuseFan.com) NORTON has Quarantined all of them

Syracusian with the score. I use NoScript in addition to what he says. Malware Bytes is gold, Jerry. Gold!

i will go with the immature response in that we have a thread on avoiding a virus and happy in my pants side by side or nearly so in the forum..

Someone recommended Avast + MalwareBytes here like a year or so ago and I don't think I've had a thing on my computer since...and both are free which is great, obviously.

Use a rubber, dude.

 

[orangejunkie]

serious answer and it works...do yourself a favor and buy a Mac. Don't ever have the problems that I had with my pc's...

 

[NineOneSeven]

Get a mac. Haven't had a virus since i went apple in 2006.

I've been going Orange since my birth in '90.
