A few years ago, I got sick and tired of worrying about all this
spyware crapola. Always, according to others, I needed another super
new spyware/adware program. I got nothing but problems from many of
these programs. They're also intrusive as hell. The same goes for
those all-in-one firewall/av/adware "Internet Security" stuff. I
found they're not necessary. I also think that much of the ravings
about Malwarebytes and SuperAntiSpyware are just the dishonest BS
spouted by a group of tech friends helping their buddies make money.
Since giving up on all these "super" programs, I now keep it simple.

I use the following -

The paid-for version of AVG Anti-Virus 2011 (When in doubt
about an AVG warning, I use the online VirusTotal page.)

Windows XP Pro built in firewall (Which passes ALL the tests on
Gibson's pages.)

Freebie Windows XP MVPS Host file

Freebie SpywareBlaster

I download Warez from Usenet groups - NEVER from a Web Warez site. I
download from Usenet porn groups - NEVER from a porn Web site. I
ALWAYS pay attention and follow AVG's warning about Web pages which
may be unsafe. With this simple protective regimen, I have not been
infected by a single virus or any type of malware. And my online
life is much simpler these days.

Oh, yeah - all you hypocrites can now proclaim how you never
downloaded porn. Ha! Ninety percent - if not ninety-nine percent, of
you HAVE downloaded porn on the sly.

My advice: Forget all those phony programs and save yourself money
and the problems that most of them cause.

I'm no hypocrite, I luv porn (to a certain degree).

MBAM and SAS are excellent non-viral anti malware applications.

Usenet warez are chock full of malware from bots to backdoors to datastealers and some
*REALLY BAD* downloaders and AVG often has a poor detection of them.

The porn in Usenet Binaries isn't as good as in web sites.

Me too! So I backed up all my data and installed Linux.

It was so refreshing not to have to worry about getting "updates" and
running "scans" all the time...

Thanks for all your replies, I use sas, mbytes, spybot, webroot anti spyware
& from work Norton corp.
Firewall is Comodo.

So the consensus is that iobit anti spyware is a no no.

You're not a technological idiot either, tho. Certainly not what I'd
call a typical home user.

So tell me something.. What can you do with linux that I can't do with
windows XP vlk edition (so no product activation nonsense) and the
millions of freeware apps out there? I'm going to play typical home
user for a moment...

I want to goto the nearest gamestop and get the latest 1st person
shooter for my pc. How do I know linux?!? is going to run my video
game? It says made for windows on the box! all my friends computers run
windows. What the hell is linux?

Scenario two..

I want to screwoff after school and chill with my homies on facebook;
camming and IMing n ****. It's easy at school and at my friends house,
but this linux~!?!? doesn't look anything like either of them. I'm
lost. mine won't do it.


If the typical home user does more with the computer than say a little
web surfing and/or office work; what benefit does linux vs windows
provide those individuals? How would you convince one of those types to
give linux a try?
