Title: Do we really need anti virus software ?
Post by: jabarim95 on Mar 31, 2011, 09:25 PM
i heard the anti virus software companies plant viruses on ur computer so you will keep having to use their software to get it out .
could we just use a firewall and be safe online ?

I do not think that our computers will be safe and protected without using Antivirus software . These are designed to detect the virus and these are the possible solutions to protect the computer . Firewalls only block the virus but not delete the virus .

I decided not to install any antivirus software last time i reinstalled my OS from scratch and I haven't got any viruses at all – so far for a month.

It's all about your habit – web pages you're visiting, what file transfers you accept from who when using any IM client, and so on..

You may be right! Without virus, how will Antivirus sells? Lets think!
