    lol, I am one.. so I dont use any av software..
    If you know anything about computers and internet/trusted sources and have a bunch of antivirus software occupying your ram and stealing your cpu cycles then the 'terrorists' have already won.

    Strange... I used IE when I visited the Org. when it got down - after I read on TWC what had happened I got worried so made a scan on my laptop with nod32 and after dowloading with Windowsdefender - both found nothing.

    Today I downloaded Ad- Aware and all it found were dozens of cookies (which I erased), but nothing serious.
    I hope I'm clean of it now - looks like I should use Firefox more often...

    Firefox works. Im an IT professional (yes scoff, I did Music and Economics undergrad, then IT PHD)...Hull and Leeds...(don't ask on the change of direction, it wasn't really when you spent 12 hrs a day playing and programming MUDs)...

    Anyways IE is imho quite dangerous, and Vista has more security holes than best swiss Ementhal..

    EDIT: BUT if I caused alarm, then don't worry, I work with malware most of the working day, what I think of as insecure, is like Fort Knox to most, so well, basically, don't fret

    Yeah, even the current versions are huge memory sinks for low-end computers. I use to have only 1 GB of RAM, and my computer froze after 30 minutes of use for about a week after my first Kaspersky scan. I had to continuously reboot it. Then for a week more, it would freeze for about five-ten seconds at shockingly regular intervals of 1.5 minutes. Incredibly annoying. But then I soon got extra RAM, and now Kaspersky runs just fine with 4 GB of RAM.

    But that is the price one must pay for the best virus protection. And I am more than willing to pay it.
