I have 
never been infected by a virus. I just receive them. In reviews both Norton 
& McAfee are comparable. I also get updates every 2-3 days. I wonder what 
are your statistics to say your chance of infection is 1/1000. I wonder what 
does this mean?
<FONT face=Arial color=#008080 
size=4> 
I put 
my anti-virus program in my startup folder so I am reminded to check for updates 
every time I reboot. I often check twice a day.
<FONT face=Arial color=#008080

I 
never open attachments from people that I do not know. Unfortunately, viruses do 
not have to come as attachments.
<FONT face=Arial color=#008080

The 
are some viruses that spread very fast. I believe it was code red this summer 
that infected millions of computers before anyone was aware of it. Also remember 
that the anti-viral companies do not work weekends. Everyone should write the 
companies and ask that they have people working 7 days a week (I 
have).

I 
think we have taken enough space on the list for this. If anyone wishes to 
discuss it more, perhaps we should take it off list.

  have McAfee. I‘m not gonna say that this is a better anti-virus but it gives 
  me updates every 2-3 days. The chance that I get infected before they know 
  about some virus is 1 in several 1000. So …or you don’t do your updates 
  regularly or you should not open an attachment that you don’t trust specially 
  a stupid text that has nothing to do with this topic and contains an 
  attachment. Remember …curiosity killed the cat?

    don’t know what you are all complaining about. Anti-virussoftware is made to 
    detect and clean a virus. So it does its job like it should do. So before 
    you open an attachment do a quick scan. This magistr. Virus is a well-known 
    and easy to catch virus. So it would be stupid that you pay for a tool and 
    never need it or use it. And the ones who are weeping are the ones who don’t 
    wonna put money on the table to buy this tool. Face it, viruses are a fact 
    on the internet. If you go out of your home you lock your door. This is 
    called safety or security. So do the same with your 
    PC.
