Sorry for little Off Topic (OT)
At my workplace, they always have anti-virus but still got virus and malwares. I noticed that Win XP Prof got virus more than old Win NT or Win 2000.
My son has Anti-virus on his computer with Win XP. He got virus.
Other my son complains.... too slow and some virus. Soon, I will help him re-format his computer at college. All colleges require all students/staffs have McAFEE AV or other brand AV. Anti-Virus does not really big help to prevent virus.
I used to have computers since 1977. Not often, I got virus or malwares.
Last December, my wife use my laptop. She got malwares on my laptop. Last Jan, I installed Win 7. Sometime, I do download McAfee Stringer (to check any virus). Not see any virus since Jan 2009.
Most times, HACKERS always target business. No reason target on home users. They always look for free WIFI at next door. Few times, our internet went down then I do pick unsecure Wifi from neighood.
I do not use IM, AIM, etc... Also, I ignores all junk emails. Very few times, I got strange pop-up then computer's power off/on. I do not trust to click "Yes or No or Cancel" They do trick us (malwares). My best choice is power off better than be sorry myself.
If you use IM/AIM, check email with attachments, etc... You should have Anti-virus but STILL NOT 100 PERCENT SECURITY!!!
My father has Apple Mac. He got Virus. That's not common for Apple users. I am not familiar with Apple Mac. Let my brother took care for his dad's computer. My brother worked for Apple Computer - (Gov and film industrial).
