Hamtaro 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 I have no viruses (thankfully, I've never gotten one). However, I used to get TONS of Trojans, Spyware, and Adware. Now, I hardly get any at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sprnknwn 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2005 It depends on the things that you do to control the connections in and out of your computer. With a router, only with certain neccessary ports open a firewall and a good antivirus that actualizes periodically... you shouldn?t have too much problems with viruses.In Windows XP I?ve had some worms... transmitted by e-mail (outlook) but I was able to dettect and erase V before they could do any harm.

xJedix 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2005 As far as i know, i have only one virus in my system.what is it? its Microsoft Windows 159815[/snapback] rofl, its so true. I hate windows but i can't switch to linux because this is my familys computer and they wouldn't know what they were doing on linux. Have the time they don't know what their doing on windows :\ Â I usually don't get to many viruses unless I am spending a lot of time looking for hacking stuff. The most viruses found on one scan i think was like 14. Though most of those were just fun little tools for aim which allowed me to boot people off of aim or other things like that. Â Like what most of the other people said, as long as you go to normal sites like google, yahoo, abc, movies.com, etc..... you shouldn't pick up viruses Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maresan 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2005 THey definetely try. And they do it good. But they don't succeed. I am proud to say I've had no viruses for a year or so.After a good lesson or two I got myself a good protection, and feel very lucky every time I download my e-mail and see a red pop-up window, saying "Virus detected!".For how long will I be safe? Don't know. Hope, for a long time. You all know it happens quickly and without prior confirmation... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kubi 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2005 Hmm, I haven't scanned my computer for months. Ad-Ware and Viruses. So I scanned it just the other day. Here's what I found.29 Ad-Ware (after months of not scanning? Wow)And3 Trojans(clickers and downloaders)All were deleted, nothing happened. It's because I don't use stupid programs on my computer that I know will give me viruses *cough*kazaa*cough*. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mayank 2 Report post Posted July 22, 2005 I dont have any viruses on my computer and the reason for that is i use my computer wisely.I have TrendMicro Internet Security 2005(fully updated) and i dont open any suspicious files. I have the firewall on highest security level and also use winpatrol so that i can keep a check on the startup items.To be safe from spywares and viruses i also use host file from MVPS, and also i use spyware blaster which makes sure that no spywares sneeks in to my computer even if i am using Internet explorer.

arcanistherogue 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2005 I have gotten none. I have gotten trojans and other malicious things, and some spyware, but in 9 years of using a computer I can safely say that I haven't gotten one.Then again, my dad was very paranoid when we didn't have Norton and didn't let me download anything until I was 10 O-o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
