• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

How to really screw up a computer

i remember a teacher once telling me "it's a poor artist who blames his brush"

:costumes:

Yeah but when the brush is a POS, it aint the the artists fault. :amen:

McAfee and Norton both have let in viruses on my computer, and that was a PITA in it's self. The thing with both when I had them, neither let you know a virus had gotten in until you did a scan. At least AVG lets you know as soon as a virus gets in. And as soon as AVG lets you know, Webroot's Spy Sweeper know there's a problem too.
 
I've been using Trend Micro's suite of tools for the past few years on all my PC's.....no issues yet.
 
Have had Avast antivirus on my machine for two years and NEVER had a virus. Also have a hardwired router, which has built in firewalls--that helps also. Remember, most wireless routers ARE NOT secure. However, with AVAST I get virus warnings when I load certain payware aircraft. Found out it is anti piracy codes written into the software, and just click ignore when I find out what they are. The worst is Captain Sim...
