Get better protection, or get a Mac

Lol thanks but I dont feel like paying..

Killerdude500 · 09-25-2006, 11:05 PM

Get it through the alternative way then.

Here's Spybot....free.

And here's Adaware....free.

Install them both. Run Spybot first, but be sure to update it before you run the check. Spybot should get rid of most of them, and may require you to reboot a couple of times. Anything that Spybot doesn't get, Adaware should.

Cyber he has both already.

Cyberopts · 09-25-2006, 11:13 PM

He also said that they were wanting him to register. That means that he didn't have the correct versions installed. I sent him links to the correct versions. You know, the one's that are free and don't require you to register in order to use them.

might wanna cut back in that pr0n.

Please.

If you had good protection earlier, than you wouldn't have to worry about viruses.

Mqake sure you get Window Defender, some third party spyware/adware removal programs, and use your firewall, and you shouldn't get viruses.

I'd also like to add that the reason why Macs don't have viruses isn't that they have superior virus protection software, but that they suck so much that hackers don't bother. I mean, why beat a dead horse?
