OT Virus protection

If you have a virus you can't seem to get rid of,
try running one of the free online scans.
Such as HouseCall, or Symantec, or Panda.
HouseCall is my favorite one to use.
It's a good idea to run it periodically anyway,
to get a second opinion about viruses on your system.

I recommend you check out the link below at least
every 3 months to keep your computer in top running shape.
It's basically a list of maintenance procedures
to keep everything running smoothly.

The only reason you need virus protection is that Microsoft has, until recently, put security dead last on their list of priorities. So Microsoft applications and operating systems are inherently insecure. This is mostly by design, although sloppy coding contributes to the problem.

Your question, while innocent enough I guess, just strikes me kind of funny. Or, maybe it's 'cause I fight this stuff day in and day out, I dunno.

But, why in the world would any rational individual broadcast out over the Internet what security measures they were using? :>)

A virus can get into your AV and corrupt the passwords so that you cannot access your subscription updates. This happened to me once and Norton cheated me out of half of a year of subscription updates I'd paid for.

I switched to McAfee at that point, and stayed with them for two years.

My next AV will be either McAfee again or something else, but not Norton.
