I don't use antivirus as they cause more problems than they prevent. if you use an antivirus, you are more likely to be compromised by some viruses.


Why is that? Do the viruses look up the antiviruses specifically? I use Panda and Ad-Aware. I have very few problems (that I know of anyway) but actually, on this very forum, a fake ad comes up in my own laguage... :?
