| 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

| 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.
