No, flip it over.

Since I understand what he's saying, it could be insulting. But he doesn't know what I'm saying, and therefore it can't be offensive in any way, unless he does know what it means.

If it was a made-up language you'd have a point, but since it isn't you don't.

What's the point? If you talk shit, you talk shit.
Bottom line this is an international forum, ie english. STFU

- Yes, I can. There's no way you can prohibit me from saying what I want to say.

Um, no. A huge number of viruses are written specifically to get around the major commercial antivirus programs like MacAfee and Norton.

As much as I'd love for gee to keep making an ass of him/herself this is only a thread about comp protection. Let's respect that.
Besides, I think cobo got some decent help. :wink:

Um, okay. Um, sorry for generalising. Um.

Would you like to know my basis for that statement? Money=quality. Ever heard the phrase 'you get what you pay for'?

Not that I'm arguing what you said, in fact that's a pretty good point I hadn't thought of. Yet I still doubt something 100% free could work quite as thoroughly and efficiently as something that took money and resources to produce. Something free LIKELY didn't require many recourses or much money. Right?

We'll see when I try these things out.

Oh and Geedunk, I'm gonna laugh when you get infected with something. How about...my brain...AND protection software??????!!!!! :shock:

You see people make mistakes. Yes even supreme higher beings like yourself.

Thats right. Try Silkroad Online.

Blackchocob0 · Post by **Blackchocob0** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 7:44 pm

Exactly. Silkroad Online versus World of Warcraft. A comparison that perfectly illustrates my point of money=quality and the concept of getting what you paid for. Of course, there are always exceptions. SRO ain't THAT bad...

iGod · Post by **iGod** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 7:50 pm

I like silkroad better than wow but it lacks customer support which is the most important thing for mmos.

Anyways, I heard only good things about bitdefender antivirus... but I'm against using antivirus software :!:

Blackchocob0 · Post by **Blackchocob0** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 8:01 pm

That's all you. The fact of the matter is that WoW is comprised of a bit more quality than SRO.

Anywhere you happen to be in both games, take a nice long look around you at your surroundings. WoW's environments can be breathtaking for an MMO. The level of clarity and detail goes so far beyond SRO.

Customer support is another great example. In ISRO, the concept of customer support is almost non-existant. In WoW, it's excellent.

Playable dimensions...In WoW you can both swim and fly. I dunno bout the flying but I know you can fight while swimming as well. SRO has neither of these. They seem simple but it's huge.

I've only played WoW for like a month or so...yet I could go on if time wasn't a luxury.

SRO's got...cool looking characters over WoW. That's about it IMO.

NOD32 antivirus system is very good ,
Norton oh no very annyoing when you cant uninstall norton always something is left on pc.. McAfee good but nope . (And is good if all have some Security Suite and spyware on pc

ciddy · Post by **ciddy** » Fri Feb 23, 2007 9:40 pm

use AntiVir like me

free service

Blackchocob0 · Post by **Blackchocob0** » Sat Feb 24, 2007 12:05 am

Narrowed it down to Kaspersky and Rising.

Kaspersky has a West Coast Labs check for spyware, anti-virus lvl 1, anti-virus lvl 2, and trojans, as well as a 100% grade from Virus Bulletins and a certified seal from ISCA anti-virus labs.

Rising has a West Coast Labs check for anti-virus lvl 1, anti-virus lvl 2, and trojans - but no check for spyware. It's also got a seal from TUV and 5 'cows' from Tucows, both of which are companies that grade the effectiveness of products out on the market. It's the #1 choice of PC Magazine, as well.

Rising Anti-Virus + Firewall 2007 = $49.99 ONCE AND ONLY ONCE.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus software = $49.99 ONCE PER YEAR. I'm not sure if there is some sort of Firewall system included within the Kaspersky software....and if there's not, I think I'll be going with Rising.

Hmmmmm hmmmmm what to do what to do...

e-trust (security suite)

Zonealarm Security suite (with hacked license key, of course) and AVG free anti virus.

2 in 1 and your computer is well-protected.

Rockshmo · Post by **Rockshmo** » Mon Feb 26, 2007 2:04 am

Zonealarm is quite annoying..

I didn't read the first page due to the flames at the beginning of the second but sorry if someone already said Avast. Simple, free, works pretty well.

Oh and don't get McAfee/Norton/any anti-virus supplied at Wal-Mart.
