Norton Internet Security Says SBR UnSafe

[THEGREAT30]

I don't know how much belief to put into a service that allows my computer to get a well-known virus (Total Internet Security) and then when I contact them try to get me to purchase another product when obviously the 2 I have are not what I need, but it's true Norton says this website presents 2 computer threats to me.

If you want to destroy your computer put virus software /firewall software on it.

Onner check JJ thread on computer longevity i answered JJ's comment

[RichardMoss]

The page itself represent no thread to the computer. It software is just advising of the content it have, as casino related webpages are for grown people, not for under age.

How else can you protect the computer against viruses?

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

Running malwarebytes and doing backups regularly

[UntilTheNDofTimE]

Anti virus softwares make u more keen to getting viruses

[THEGREAT30]

Running malwarebytes and doing backups regularly

Okay, that sounds sensible considering that's how I got Total Internet Security virus off of my computer when Norton could not do it's job. I only have the free version should that work fine?

Norton is the worse, they wiill slow your computer. Get rid of it.

[RogueJuror]

Malwarebytes
HijackThis
CCleaner

is all that you need

Ignorance is bliss, don't run anything and nothing is wrong.

Ignorance is bliss, don't run anything and nothing is wrong.

That's the smartest dumbest statement I have heard today. Do you think people just started producing and buying antivirus software without a market? A market was created when peoples computers started to get infected and they wanted a way to fix it. Norton and the likes may be horrible, but to say don't run anything and nothing is wrong is totally ignorant. That's like saying don't go to the doctor and nothing is wrong. Something could be wrong and you just don't know. Meaning you are ignorant to what is wrong.

Get rid of all virus programs , it kills your pc

[RichardMoss]

Kasperskyis a pretty good antivirus suit

SBR is unsafe, it may lead to pulling hair out, punching yourself in the face.... or other violent acts...... drinking then binge coke use will follow..... soon swearing at the bank teller as she tells you that there is no money in the account quickly follows. Stay away.......

I didn't like Norton when I had it. The free antivirus software is better anyway. Look at Avira (which I currently use), AVG Free (used to use), or Avast.

[jjgold]

Compare your speed with and without anti virus programs.

Your move

Almost all spyware is completely harmless. It'll slow your computer down, sure, but as for malice content, not so much. So, if you want to spend hours every week running 13 scans to find 837 registry issues and have to update all the software and download patches and all that... well, I say **** that. I'd rather just use my computer until I can't use it anymore and then format it.

The spyware/adware craze out there has made everyone e-hypochondriacs. Always worrying something is wrong and always getting it checked. That's no way to live.

Go away. You sound more life a self-righteous individual that can't be wrong everytime you post. Spyware is harmless. I seriously doubt that. Man just leave it alone. Go give your banking information away on the corner if it's so harmless.

I use Firefox and AVG in conjunction and have no problems whatsoever.

Show me the dangers of spyware, I'm curious. I'll tell you that if you have spyware, it's probably because of your browsing habits, and that means you'll get it again. So if you want to waste hours running scans and have the resource heavy software running in the background, go ahead. It's idiotic. You sound like your life is important enough for people to actually care what websites you go to. Let me be the first to tell you no one does.

Buy a Mac.

AVG doesn't handle spyware does it? You should add no-script to Firefox, cover all your bases.
