I agree with Pablo,
I get a few hundred mails every day, as you can imagine most are spam. I
just downloaded and installed BitDefender since it was recommended here and
ran a scan. There was no single virus on my PC, as many others I run
As-Aware, IE Privacy Keeper, Spybot and lately CCleaner from time to time. I
will keep BitDefender on my PC since it allows me to scan for viruses from
time to time, thank you for the suggestion. It looks like a nice little
program. Of course I have Zone Alarm running all the time. Just this morning
I woke up and was thinking that I should transfer $50 to each of these
developers for working on these great tools and make them available for all
of us.

Betreff: Re: off topic: AV-Firewall programs
In my opinion it is a waste of time and CPU power to run an AV program all
the time. They are mostly for kids and elderly who don't know what they are
doing when they surf the web. The best AV program is yourself. I run
trendmicro once in a while and I scan everything I dl but this is a free
program from their website.
I use CCleaner and run it everyday. I also use a popular firewall. Common
sense in the end beats evreything out there.
