kobalt Posted April 8, 2004 Posted April 8, 2004 (edited) The only virusesss i ever saw was the ones i opened myself to see if my AVG would catch it and it did. Man i cant beleive peoples would buy anti viral program when the best one is free And btw, how do you know all those other companies that sell anti v. dont actually MAKE virus for you to get their supposed anti virus programs which dont seems to do such a hot job with what i can see here <_< http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php And it would be a good idea to run a spybot detection too http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=download Also free Edited April 8, 2004 by kobalt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
