How do people get this stuff. I have never had anything in my life like this and I'm running Win XP with no A/v.
You cannot run a windows pc without anti virus, it's an invitation to anything that can harm you files and your PC.Quote:

I work for a multinational IT company and spent some time in online security, believe me the bad guys are out there and they will get you.
Good luck

Or worse, loose everything on your hard drive.
I am running Avast free edition at home, works great and as it costs nothing why not use it.
I know a few people in IT that don't run AV, are you more vulnerable not running AV probable not
How many viruses come out daily that your AV update hasn't updated before scanning your system.......lots!!!!
A person not running AV is not likely to be visiting suss sights and opening links in emails that there not 100% sure of and they are probable more safe than a person running AV that is visiting sites and opening email attachments that there not sure of.
My 2 cents anyway
