I ALWAYS install an antivirus. Unless the computer is going to have no internet access whatsoever.

That's all most people ever see, actually. And it's the easiest browser to regulate in a corporate IT environment.

Opera lol. That brings back bad memories of text editing.

It's called a freeware antivirus program, like Microsoft Security Essentials. Or Avira. Or Avast!. I know what I am doing, kthnx. Browsing the net without an AV and expecting not to catch malware is like... holding your hand on a stove burner that is on high and expecting not to get burned. EVEN. ON. SITES. YOU. TRUST. :\

My personal favorite is Microsoft Security Essentials, though. Lightweight AND effective.

Oh. THOSE. Luckily I have never gotten those. ^_^ Some computers at my workplace have, though, and that usually means I have to lug out a replacement so I can bring the other back to my desk so I can use another computer to scan the hard drive. >(

I've gone without AV or a FW for a couple years now, and my computer is just fine.

Heh, I actually got mine from Deviantart, apparently others have been getting them, but the problem hasn't been fixed, although this was before I had an AntiVirus.

I give it another month until an icon to "low down payments on used cars up to 2002" has appeared n your desktop and when you Google Youtube you get sent to Krogers.com.
