shocka1kuzaAnti-virus is like the vaccine, you're completely stopping it before you get infected..
how often are vaccines used? mhmmm. About as often as antivirus should be used, only when absolutely necessary (once a year). I'm glad you agreed with me indirectly, genius...
ok you've gone completely retarded now. You obviously don't understand vaccines or virus protection.
You only need 1 flu shot each year because it covers all the current flu's traveling the world. Where virus definitions are required more often because NEW threats come up every day.

shocka1And when I said it should be used once year, I meant strictly for scanning purposes (which I stated in previous posts). All year long, I make sure to update/patch my computer as frequently as possible. But a few times a year I'll run a virus scan.
What's the point of scanning at all then? Why bother? IF you've had a key logger on you for any length of time it's too late by the time you catch it. Your yearly scans are pointless.
If you're so sure your updating (which I've already proven are ineffective because vendors will not apply patches as quickly as they should) is enough, then please, do not scan your pc anymore.

okay but that means you could go for months at a time with a virus without knowing
hope you don't apply for a job anywhere that requires you to type your ss# during that period
there is very little reason not to run a free antivirus these days, it uses an incredibly small amount of resources and real time protection is valuable. like I said earlier, there has been ONCE that I got a virus but it was instantly blocked. just glad I had real time protection
