Ping Edwin: Virus damage 624
Grow up Snit.
No Snit. The only thing that I'd "doing" is protecting myself in a way which is different than how you think I should. That's not the same thing as thinking that I'm immune.
Who cares? Despite all of these experts recommendations to use anti-malware software I have remained malware free for over five years. In the meantime Windows users continue to become infected by malware despite their use of anti-malware software. I'm sorry but I'll take my results over theirs any day.
I can tell you that of the top eleven pieces of malware that started this thread anti-malware software, the solution that you're recommending, were effective in preventing none of them. My recommendations would have prevented all but one of them. You keep ignoring this simple fact. Your, and the experts, recommendation isn't working.
Answers the same as above.
Because when it comes to convenience or security most people will choose convenience every time.
I won't. A fair comparison has never been in the interests of the Maccies. They always have to inflate the cost of the PC artificially.
Actually Snit it's more. But lacking the technical knowledge that you do I don't expect you to understand.
Being one of the least competent people administering computers you'll have to excuse me for not putting much merit in your experiences.
Of course they don't. That's what makes this newsgroup so fun. Watching you idiots pretend that you know what you're talking about.
Don't worry Snit. Your reputation of ignoring good information is not in jeopardy.
I am on topic Snit. The fact is that despite your insistence that people use anti-malware software it was ineffective at preventing infections from these eleven pieces of malware. Great solution you're advocating.
You're implying it.
No, my logic is just fine. As evidenced by my having proven my claim that my systems were malware free despite the fact that I had been using them...
I don't have to show that it increases. All I have to do is show that it's not as effective. And I've already done that. You just continue to ignore it and instead argue against your strawmen.

BTW - Still looking for your response to the article that I posted about the ineffectiveness of anti-malware software. Why are you avoiding it?
