Wrong, on my pc I use nod32, it catches many by advanced heuristics.. It's just good practice to run an AV on a pc or a Mac.For the antivirus software to work it has to know what its looking for and by the time the updates are out the virus has already hit many people

Biturbo V12 AMG said:yea i am sure norton has that also but a new virus can be written to overcome that and with my experience yes the anti virus will find the virus but its usually to late the damage has been done. it seemed like after i had uninstalled all the antivirus software on my PC i never had any more virus trouble... could this be that when you update the anti virus programs they send you a virus to make it seem like its working and entice you into buying a longer subscription?
If you want to believe that, more power to you!Biturbo V12 AMG said:yea but i never had stuff that didnt work like a CD drive or my computer wouldnt start up. after i uninstalled norton and i download alot of stuff off the internet and my friend also has the same set up his pc. removing the virus sometimes does more harm than good.
That's such a stupid and naive reply. In a way I can't wait for a virus for OS X to come out to show people who say things like that how dumb it really is.bembol said:When I picked up my Mini @ the Yorkdale Apple Store...I ask the sales if I need the Norton AntiVirus...
His response was, "Honestly, I don't know why we carry it?"
