Yes it is stupid, don't use more than one AV at a time. What I meant is to do scans with Kaspersky each week, not to let the live protection run.Originally Posted by CheezyMadman
Okay a few things about thatOriginally Posted by CheezyMadman
1. Ads can in fact contain viruses/adware/spyware. Look up "clear pixeling" if you think I'm BSing you. They are bad for computers and should be blocked. Even if it is just to decrease annoyance with all the "Click here"'s flashing around.
2. You trust Best Buy's support team? yeah bunch of n00bs if I ever seen n00bs in my life.
3, AVG is definantly the way to go so you at least know a good AV when you see it. Good job
4. I have 3 AV progs, my CPU is fast, never crashes, and not once have I gotten a virus. So I don't know what you're talking about. I have gotten message that a virus was blocked, but the virus was really blocked and never showed in any of my scans.
Oh and good job with this hardc0re. If this security setup is good enough for you, it's more than good enough for me. Good work with the add on comments as well everyone.

ignore those, they suck. my suite of proggies when running winblows is firefox, avg, NVIDIA hardware firewall, and privoxy. with that, you dont need anything else.
hell, my security alert keeps going off. too bad im never turning on automatic updates (at least until sp3, but then ill prolly just dl the redist)

God, this guy is actually using his chipset at it's full potential! :O
it was really just a way to be lazy. i didnt want to have to dl and install a software firewall, and the one that came with my epox nforce4 9npa has such a nice gui

which one is better=
kapersky or AVG?
knowing how many avg fanboys are here, i'd expect tons of replies saying avg.Originally Posted by Phuzin
polobunny, if you send me the links to those sites (the ones I didn't post) I will update to include them. My setup is more simple (most noobs roll their eyes when dealing with 2 programs..imagine 15!?) but yours covers security down to about 99.9% of stopping everything. Very good work! +REP for you.
Have you ever considered college as a Certified systems security professional? In the U.S. you would be guaranteed a job, especially if some hacking skills go with that. And the IP/hardware fundamentals.

If you wanna turn off that annoying "Your comp may be at risk cuz you don't have window's faggoth firewall up and automatic downgrades on" message, go to control panel> administrative tools> services and scroll down to "security center." Double click it and set the status to "stop" and then set the startup type to manual (unless you know what you are doing, i wouldn't disable any service).
Is it really being a fanboy using the better one? AVG all the way!Originally Posted by Mikey
