really? Yes. This is one thing people don't know about. The huge problem with computer viruses on personal computers arises first and foremost because Windows is such a crappy designed OS. Even if people make a virus for Linux the way the OS is built makes it mostly harmless and easy to avoid.
[QUOTE="kuraimen"]I use Linux, I don't have to worry about viruses ;) And Windows is the most popular virus ever created, they even charge for it and people pay :P I tried Linux once, party for that reason, but it was far too different from Windows for me to be able to understand / enjoy it. Also, most software / games can't run on it =(

Also, most software / games can't run on it =( I have almost completely migrated to Linux. I have an old and small Windows XP partition but I use it exlcuisvely for games because yes, companies support for games on Linux is lousy. Apart from that I have substitued every type of application I used in Windows for a Linux alternative and I'm happy to say that I don't need Windows anymore. I just hope companies start giving support for games on Linux or they make better support with Wine.
Well... if it were detected by a scanner or showing symptoms via system glitches & system failuresit would be due to sloppy programming or a software conflictnot the intent to infiltrate a system or network.
I run Linux so I don't really worry about viruses. I did run my HDD through a virus scan a little while back just to see if I did have anything, as expected none were found.
No, I do not. Kaspersky is pretty damn good, although I have been told that you don't really need all that protection if you know what you're doing. Free anti virus should do the trick as well as browsing safely.

I just hope companies start giving support for games on Linux or they make better support with Wine.I do hope Linux gains massive support as well. I unfortunately still feel the need to stick with Windows for some programmes.
I am tight on security. Beyond realtime scanning with Avast and non-realtime scanning with Malwarebytes, any "iffy" exe is run in Sandboxie first. Also, any external communication is manually vetted by Comodo firewall first.
Nope, but my pc always struck with these viruses that usually come from the pendrives. Thanks to avast for protecting my pc and also wipe out the pesky malwares.
I picked option 2 because it was the closest one to my real thoughts. NO, i don't have a virus on my machine, and any virus that tries gets squashed. so... yeahh....
