people run security these days? cmon people its 2015.
Half of posts like this ↑ are troll baits, other half are actually serious.
After all these years, the following never happened to me until about an hour ago today(!):
I mistyped a web address and the site was a malware site. Avira lit up and intercepted a virus.
So what would have happened if I didn't have protection?
That was a typo that caused that but Legitimate sites routinely get taken over... and so what does 'safe browsing' mean if you go to a legitimate site that has been taken over and you get infected even though you followed 'safe browsing practices'. Wearing protection is a good idea in real life... and it is especially a good idea on the internet!
granted it is possible for you to get one that is harmful just by visiting a web page, the chances of it happening so slim to none, going on what like 8+ years? of no active antivirus... no virus yet. guess i must be "lucky".
i also mostly only wear my seat belt if intending to ride on the highway (more than 25mph). or if i have my top and doors off. has a seatbelt saved my life? yes. please do not lecture me on this either, i had it happen on another thread and it was ridiculous. "what if some one was going super fast on a city road" then i guess im dead. the chances of that happening are probably almost nothing, i can drive to the grocery store most days and ever see one car on the road. welcome to small town america. not to mention if someone hits me going that fast and im doing the speed limit, id be dead with a seatbelt on too.
also id like to mention half of the posts with arrows are trollbait as well. the other are just offensive and im telling my mommy.
I don't understand the premise of someone coming into a "seat belt" thread and telling people not to wear seat belts.
Obviously this thread is to discuss different seat belts for people that do wear them.
It's other people's business if they don't want to wear a seat belt, they don't have to justify themselves, but this thread is based on a premise that participants have accepted seat belt use - we are just discussing the belts.
There is no purpose in convincing us not to wear seat belts and there is no purpose in convincing others they should either.
People are not the same. I light up my antivirus every once in a while - why should I not have it if it verifiably protected me.
If other people do not need it - may their safe journey continue.
not at all, you blew it up into some whole Illuminati conspiracy against antivirus or something. i literally have 0 issue with people using it. none, at all.May your safe journey continue.
I am about to fresh install Avira Antivirus on Windows 10 retail and will be posting about that in this thread.
I hope you don't mind.
ok. Other people's wives are hiring managers who get resume files loaded with virii.... on their laptops at home.
This is a thread for people like that
