Re: its easy

If you know your PC like the back of your hand then you can pretty easily tell if it's clean. Easiest way is browse the running processes on occasion, or check the "Run" in the registry to see what's starting up when you boot up your machine...

A while back I was sent an E-mail saying that I was infected with some worm (the e-mail was sent to a web based account) The person worked with a friend of mine out in Calgary. I told him that the e-mail was spoofed and it came from somewhere else, then he asked me if I had A/V. I said no... he flipped out that I had the nerve to say I wasn't infected.

I downloaded a trial of kaspersky and ran it... who would have thought... no virus found.

I wear mine, because I have little to no control over the other drivers...

Dodging traffic and controlling what runs on YOUR computer are very different things.

Do you also not wear a seat belt while driving?

Taking no procautions isn't the safe way to do things.
well i guess until i get infected or comprimised then im not going to change my habits.

and i do wear my seat belt otherwise i would lose a couple points and get a hefty charge; on the other hand i would just burn what is needed or transfer to my other hd and format.
