[RESOLVED] [2005] Virus Scanner?

[Kasracer]

Well might as well wait until I'm old enough to create something like an antivirus program.

Why bother? With Vista finally incorporating appropriate security that OS X and *nix have been benefiting from, I don't see Anti-Virus and Spyware software selling very well in the near future.

There isn't even a need for it today as long as you're careful and don't allow others on your system.

Until they make banners that Flash and say you've won illegal there will always be a need for anti-virus and spyware programs. There are plenty of computer users out there, who if there is a virus they will manage to download it and send it to everyone they know.

I disagree if you're dumb enough to get a virus get off the PC

Pure genius. I've had viral infections before. I removed them with the help of Norton Antivirus. Perhaps I should have just got my dumb ass off the PC instead. I use the Internet regularly and I do like to download things sometimes. If I don't have a virus scanner to warn me if such a file is infected then I am dumb.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
