Holier than thou you brought up I didn't. I never even hinted as such. Can't
you talk in a civil manner and not be so ostentatious? You are still a fear
monger. You teach fear rather than computer operations. I never mentioned
anything about dodging trains, you did. Only you with your fear would state
running a computer without AV protection is like dodging a train. How
ridiculously immature.

Your responses were garbage. And not using AV is like dodging a
train....with luck, you'll be okay....but there is always the chance that
the train will win.
The point was not equating train dodging to not using AV, but that telling
others who do not know better that dodging trains is "okay" is socially
irresponsible.
You obviously have delusions of grandeur and your holier-than-thou attitude
grows tiresome.
Time for you to shut the f**K up.

Your message is absolute garbage. I do not 'tell' people to NOT use an AV
program.
How the heck you equate not using an AV program with jumping out of the
way of
a train
is so idiotic it borders on insanity.

You are missing the point entirely. I wear a seatbelt every time I
drive,
yet I have not had an accident in over 30 years. You are the one who is
"being so ostentatious". You may be happy going your merry way without
any
AV protection, but that does not give you the right to tell others that
it
is "okay" to do so themselves. Most of us live in the real world, where
we
are intelligent enough to use the tools available to us. The point has
never been whether you have ever had a virus (and we have only YOUR word
on
this), but your preaching that AV protection is unnecessary. You can
take
all the chances you like...it is your right and your prerogative. But to
counsel others to take the same dangerous attitude as yours is
irresponsible
at best. Not everyone is as "smart" as you claim to be. If you were
truly
intelligent, you would have understood the current of this thread instead
of
repeatedly posting "I have never had a virus...yada yada yada". I don't
care if you have ever had a virus. Personally, I hope you learn, the
hard
way, the folly of your ways. But that is not important to this thread.
You
should not tell neophytes that AV is not necessary. They are the ones
most
vulnerable and most in need of protection. That way, they can learn more
about the wonderful device that is sitting on their desktop without the
frustration of being infected because of their inexperience.
In closing, I respect your right to do as you please, and to say what
you
believe. But when what you post could cause someone else to adopt unsafe
computer practices, then you have overstepped the bounds of your
"freedom".
There are people in this world who practice a form of thrill seeking
called
train-dodging. They will stand on a track as a train approaches and will
wait until the last possible moment to jump out of the way of the train.
While they may enjoy this practice, if they were to try to convince
children
to do the same, it would be unacceptable. That is what you have done
with
your "preaching".

Then tell me why I never get a Virus. Why are you being so
ostentatious?

You are actually showing your own arrogance and ignorance. With the
predominance of viruses, worms, trojans, keyloggers, malwares, and
dialers
that are running wild, you would be a fool not to afford yourself the
protection of a reputable AV program. No one cares how smart you
*think*
you are. Your very words show just how limited your knowledge is.

I know about computers and software, that's precisely why I don't
need
AV
programs and don't get viruses.

Greetings --
Not if one knows how to follow the relatively simple
instructions
that come with them, and know a little about computers and software
in
general. Most applications, whether anti-viral or otherwise, cause
problems _only_ if used(misused) by the willfully ignorant.
