Possibly the worst computer mess ever
 |
oh and the programmes I use for Pc security and up keep:
Ad aware,
Zone labs,
System Mechanic
and sometime I use CCleaner, maybe once every fewmonths.
I used to use a free anti virus called "Avast!" but the it was a bit crap because they were never able to a fix infected files properly and I usually end up having to delete them then search on the net to replace them.
In the 6 years I've been using this pc this I've never went online without a proper fire wall, or without the common sence of knowing when you've hit a dodgy email or a dodgy website.
On the 6 years I;ve been online (except for 3 weeks ago, when Zone labs broke) my pc has never contracted more than the odd tracking cookie or failed trojan attempt.

How come I never get any of those nasties? I haven't got any anti adware/spyware program. The only security I have is AntiVir and iSafer. :rolleyes: .
