Re: ESET antivirus

You can only presume that haven't had a virus because you are not checking.
For all you know you have a trojan installed and your system is merrily
sending spam while you sleep at night!

If you are exceptionally well disciplined about clicking links in email and
on unfamiliar web pages, an adult can get away without A/V. But there
aren't many who can.

software.

Wow Tom, (I'm trying to find the kindest way to say this but) that's
just wrong unless you don't have internet access and you never have
anything connect to your PC that might have connected somewhere else.
