:lol: Well....sorta :P

To be fair, the virus in question was a particularly nasty one. It managed to thoroughly infect the boot sector of the hard drive.


And Beigedeath......Norton Internet Security or 360 never would have even let you download that file in question.....It protects you with Heuristic (behavioral monitoring) Protection, everything is scanned on demand, in the cloud, and Norton utilizes download insight. Oh and its definition based as well :roll:

Plus I get a discount on it :lol:

The reason I highly recommend a paid solution is because I see SO MANY computers come in (to the store where I work and repair computers) with free AVG, MSSE, Avira, etc that have infections out the a**. Also, McAfee is a broken/useless condom (I think I mentioned that before :roll: , but its true). So don't buy McAfee. 9/10 computers with McAfee have infections.

^ I have agree with all of this .. while free is good, for best peace of mind your better off paying something for the full protection bundle

I prefer AVG, it is a good internet security, plus I barely get viruses.
