I don't use anti-virus software at all. It's for n00bs.

:) that's funny. Mainly because I don't use anti-virus software because it's more convenient to zap what ever comes my way than it is to have a firewall/norton/panda/and 16 other protection programs that will "protect" my computer running at any given time.

I too quite all anti-virus swft. Too much of a resourse hog, and slows things down. I NEVER email in html, txt only, delete cookies daily, and dump cache several times daily.

I don't even use a computer. Just pen and paper for me.

I don't either. I'm never had a virus attack on this VIC-20.

I'm with you on that. I've never had a computer virus infection in 20 years of computing. You have to do something you shouldn't in order to get one of these things on your computer.

Same here, I don't bother with anti-virus software. The only precaution I take besides a firewall is to keep Javascript and ActiveX Controls disabled and not open spam e-mail attachments. It's been years since I've gotten a nasty.
