Antivirus Software

I hope you use some kind of antivirus at least. I know someone that didn't and his computer was completely destroyed on the inside due to severe, mass infection. He told me the pop-ups and having to scan annoyed him so he just quit using it. Then one day he was doing something on "Facebook" and bam! Virus. I put Facebook in quotes because I think it was actually porn, but I'm not 100% sure.
I use the free version of Avast! The bootscan option is awesome and to my knowledge no other free antivurs program has such a feature. If there is one please share o.O I used to subscribe to Mcafee, but that shit's expensive!

My solution was Emulate both systems on a Windows computer and keep my old SL system as a spare computer.

I was an avast! user for some time. A decent A/V if not wanting to shell out the amount for a premium product. I soon moved to a premium product. I also use MBAM (PRO) along with anti-loggers and a cloud based ant-malware product. On-demand scanners are also used when needed.
Ugh . . .

You take that shit seriously, how much porn do you view in a day?

Just to be clear, what is “that shit” so that I can give you a proper answer.
Ugh . . .

The amount of anti-malware tools you use.

Layered protection is the best way to go. How users surf the Net is really what allows for intrusions. You can have the best security system to protect anything -but- if you are careless, then a security system will be unable to fully protect them. More often, it is the site that is being attacked at its weakest points and that is how people's information is intercepted. Also, people shouldn't think that their Operating System is immune to malware. Because malware writers eventually find a way. Just look how sophisticated financial malware has become.
Ugh . . .

I use AVG alongside McAfee. It's a decent carbonation.

I use a student version of McAfee that my university provides. I also run Spybot occasionally.

Norton is a virus, its worse to have norton than to have an actual virus. So I stick with nod32 that I downloaded a long time ago. Virus programs are overrated anyway. I remember all those gamecrack and serialkeys servers that where filled with viruses and pornpop-ups.
