just wondering
if this really solves the virus and spyware problem without having to buy expensive software and it’s not one of those anti virus companies that make the viruses themselves
those who preferanother anti-virus program tell me also please tell me another free anti-spyware program that everyone trusts
separate program to do what the operating system should do anyway. Who cares if Norton or whoever the heck makes anti-virus software loses money, we shouldn’t have to buy their product to be protected online. Plus, the anti-virus companies have a vested interest in keeping viruses out there, because, if viruses ever ceased, there goes their business model. Who knows, they could be responsible for some of the viruses that are plaguing our computers.
Last week after visiting Best Buy, after watching a salesman try to sell anti-software to a customer, it brought me up questions. So the customer is purchasing a new computer, and the salesperson tries to sell anti-software along with the computer. He elaborates on how it can protect the computer from spy ware and viruses. Unfortunately, she buys into his brainwashing pitch. In the end, she buys it.
We all know spy ware and viruses are bad for our computers. However, when a anti-virus company creates a program to counter it, the cycle continues. Hackers create better viruses that surpass the anti-virus software. Soon the anti-virus companies discover it, then it goes on and on. The need for people to protect their computers can be costly. This can also mean companies are making millions on anti virus products. I want to read what everyone thinks about this.
