My laptop is in perfect condition, with a Norton 360 equipped.

My second computer is equipped with a weaker anti-virus device.

My third computer has very little protection.

I don't know if I'd equate protection with condition, but yes. On both counts.

I promise to God I saw myself scrolling through this thread in a dreams a few nights ago. And protection shouldn't and doesn't equate with condition, as you could have a brand new computer with no protection and an old as hell one with Norton. Protection means nothing, besides some cases ;) But as far as protection goes, I am lacking at the moment.

Yes, it's in excellent condition, without any advanced protection. I use OpenDNS, Google Chrome, and I avoid pages that I am dubious of like the plague.

Probably that the fan is really dusty. I'm just guessing though.

My computer is in great condition. Norton isn't protection by the way. I don't know where you've learned this nonsense.

My personal computer is in great condition. The family computer is.... wow. It's so bogged down with crap, I actually saw the process of destroying a window. Did you know when you click the "x" on a window, Windows removes it line by line starting from the top? Because I didn't until last week.

You know, I am 100% against anti-virus programs always running in the background... why slug your machine down? Besides, if you know how to use a computer safely, you don't need one. For me, it's pretty hard to get a virus unless I'm trying. 1. Don't open email attachments! 2. No limewire 3. Use torrents safely, or not at all 4. Don't go on strange sites... and obviously no porn sites either. There you go! With further security precautions, you will never need to use an anti-virus program.

It's not too pad though i could probably do with cleaning the dust filters, removing some old IDE cabling and replacing the GPU TIM.

It's a bit like the Millenium Falcon – looks like crap and needs a kick to start her up, but when she's up and running she can burn CD's faster than you can sneeze.

One of my desktops and one of my laptops are in great condition, running with decent anti-virus software. My other desktop is in good physical condition, but it's running FreeBSD and - as of right now - isn't connected to the internet, so it's running with no anti-virus; my second laptop is in great physical condition running both XP and OpenSuSe with no anti-virus at the moment.

My other/parents computer may be a victim of software counterfeiting so Windows Defender turned itself off. I'd better stop buying software from those pesky pirates.

I've had this Sony Vaio laptop for 2 1/2 years now and only one key has popped out and there are a few scratches on the outside of it. Also, the battery is completely dead so I now treat it as a "desktop."
