bad experience? huh? I sent the report and binary on purpose, for analysis,
I was never infected.. wtf ???
Not an excuse??? AM I BOUND BY SOME COVENANT THAT SAYS I MUST RUN A AV???
Why WOULD I want an anti-virus on my pc? In 3 years at http://compucare.com
as head technician / service manager I personally DIAGNOSED and repaired
over 10,000 pc's. I discovered KaK/worm before it was public knowlege, and
disinfected it, because a customer reported me as having shoddy work, when
in fact the did the same thing to reinfect themselves.. To this day I
disinfect it beter than any av, by hand. I do not run a active AV on
purpose... And I actually like my beat up beast of a bastard XP.. at least
.... ohhh forget it.
