Okay, I'm a bad internets user.

I have a tower that I use for the sole purpose of running protools. That tower operated as a stand alone for 2 years and recently got hooked up to the internets by my partner in crime...who is not compter savvy. Because I allowed my antivirus to expire and because I need to turn off the firewall just to get online, I (suprise, suprise) have been innundated with viruses, spyware, worms, etc...

What antivirus/firewall/spware/adware/malware/worm/PC syphillis software do you suggest?

Anti-Virus
Anti-Spyware

Download, install, and UPDATE both programs.

After updating, reboot your computer and tap F8 repeatedly to boot into safe mode.

Once in safe mode, run a complete scan with each program.
That will kill everything.

Visit "security center" in Windows control panel and turn on the Windows firewall. It works perfectly fine.

Oh, and smack your friend for being a noob.

anti virus = bullshit

i haven't had one for over 5 years, not one virus or anything like that

Turn off your firewall and you will have a virus in under 30 seconds. Those hacker nerds develop "worms" that constantly crawl the net looking for open ports. They will infect your system almost instantly.

I went about a year without getting viruses and not using any antivirus stuff. Then I got some. Now I got rid of them.

Yea, 99% of the problem is the sites you visit. I use minimal protection and have had a stable windows box for around 4 years now.

Yeah I used to have a friend like that. I almost made him deaf with a very not funny joke afterwards.

+1

very very rarely is NOT having an anti-virus the problem. the real problem is people going to sites and installing all that shit that they want you to when your really just installing bullshit anyways.
