wala na gyud ko nagamit og anti virus sa balay, deep freeze ra bahalag paslakan og usb gikan sa gawas wa gihapoy problema basta kabalo lang ka mu delete anang mu sud sa backup nga drive. dili man pud mka detect og uban nga mga viruses gikan sa flash drive ang mga antivirus bisan updated.

Sure ka bro? wa man kaha nag gamit for years? walay prob imo PC? way problem
na encounter nimo?

Sure kaayo.

Kong kahibaw ka mo gamit sa imong ulo, di ka kinahanglan anti-virus.

Of course it is. You don't need one if you NEVER go online or you NEVER put removable media in your PC.

Yes, you could use Deepfreeze, but lisod na para nako, labi na uban software install ug upgrade, and you still have to pay for it.

Alternatives to antivirus: prevx and Threatfire. Stops zero day threats kuno.

Must have gyud if you go online, not just a matter of being careful what sites you visit. Remember the MSBLAST virus? You just log on, infected na ka if your ISP was infected. So its a must unless you use one of the three programs I mentioned.

I have been online for years. Many of the computers and devices I have are all connected to the internet ... many 24/7. I do not use Deep Freeze. I do not use any anti-virus. I do not use a firewall. I do not pay for any of this crap people spend money on or download for free. Everything and anything except what I want is stopped right at the front door at my router and firewall.

Configure your network right, don't click on everything offering you free *** and free money ... and you are good to go.

for me since dli man ko techie nga person i personally prefer to have anti-virus on my pc

[kazki]

if your computer is in deepfreeze, then who needs an anti-v
