Did you ever hear the word 'irony'? It sometimes serves a useful purpose, in my view. The OP asked "Why do some people (try to) avoid using AV...
You just need to keep on saying to yourself over and over again "We don't need no anti-virus." Or, if you like to get your thrills by free...
So, Sul, as a virtual nobody, I'm evidently following your advice by not following your example on AVs. Do you also go rock-climbing without a...
I have no problem copying from the browser and pasting into Notepad with SafeOnline protection set at max. Maybe giovi99 should ask PrevxHelp...
I'd be surprised if there's much difference in the risks taken on average by users of different AVs. Do reckless users go for one AV whilst...
Another source of information is the chart showing "Threats missed by other security vendors" on the Prevx homepage at https://www.prevx.com/ ....
Looks like it was a false positive, but they've updated the CIA's cloud database now. Somebody just needs to make sure that the entry says 'Osama'...
I use heuristic scanning to protect the house, particularly against zero-day threats. It's called Prevx SafeAtHome. Seriously, though, your...
Here's one place: http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showforum=19&prune_day=60&sort_by=Z-A&sort_key=last_post&topicfilter=all&st=0 . And...
I quite agree - there's no margin for making mistakes if you run Sandboxie without an AV, brilliant program though it is. Keyboard_Commando must...
Ar groeso, 'wasu.
I know what you mean, but aren't some of them free? Hard to see where the feeling of superiority comes from there. My security suite...

Windows can't be at all easy using MASM. Not so sure about the swipe at high-level programming languages, though. Assembler is rated as 2nd...
Running Firefox in Sandboxie's DefaultBox boosts your system's protection against threats that might come through the browser, but I don't think...
The default setting in Sandboxie is to allow any program in the sandbox to access the internet. And yet it's an excellent security tool. Isn't...
I opt for several security layers, so that if malware were to get through one layer then (hopefully) another layer would catch it. This is perhaps...
jv16 Power Tools contains a software uninstaller that works OK. Even if the program's uninstaller doesn't work, you can use jv16PT to get rid of...
It's perhaps not the Wilders members who eschew AVs that one should worry about. What about the hundreds of millions of people who lack the basic...
You're absolutely right that UNIX is the OS of choice for many (maybe most) critical applications like servers. Unfortunately, that does nothing...
As far as I can remember, there was a critical time back in the late 80s and early 90s when MS built up its critical market share of the PC market...
I don't personally mind the idiot part so much. But an 'outpost'? Wilders is at the centre of the Universe.
Kerodo is certainly right that one can get too paranoid about this. Prior to the advent of SafeOnline, I just used Firefox or IE with...
My wife regards me as an 'expert' if I can fix a problem on her PC, but that's as far as it goes. I have no experience of (or desire to engage in)...
Well, I'm glad that things are getting clearer for at least one of us. This is what constructive debate is all about. If I follow your drift,...
Separate names with a comma.
