    Thanks, it's downloading now :)

    Just because you made a mistake doesn't mean you are a mistake.

    Suprised at AVASTS false positive numbers there!

    Ditto ;) Let's remember it's one test for false postives though...

    I always do. I compare test after test after test.

    Funnily enough, AVG never seems to do as well as Avast or Avira in ANY of them :p

    Stop PMS'ing over it. They are all DREADFUL pieces of software if you like full-speed computing. Ive tried all of the free ones and swore I wouldnt go near them again.
    NOD32 was slightly less awful but I ditched that after a while too.
    No 'nasties' on my system, because I dont download unreliable crap or click on moron-bait links.


    So

    If say ~

    Someone hacked THIS VERY SITE and had it infect everyones computer with a malicious 'script' virus then youd be infected yes? (Just one of a ton of examples I could give really)
    :idea:

    A lot of people think that, but I simply dont buy into the scaremongering. In this area, a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing.

    Didn't mean to thank ;)

    So are you saying ignorance is bliss?
