Why would anyone wanna put their pc at risk?

by using free antivirus programs like avast? all the program does is give u tons of false readings and if u follow the recommendations u end up having half of your important programs disabled. sounds kinda dumb if u ask me. btw i put avast through a simple test. I bought brand new pc and ran avast scan on it and ended up with 16 virus readings lol. how can a brand new pc (straight out of the box) have viruses lol what a joke.

I use AVG on several computers and it works great. I have had no problems with it, and it has caught a number of attempted infections and spyware droppers.

They aren't false readings, your new pc out of the box is probably loaded with spyware or spyware-like programs. Keep your system simple and basic. I always use free antivirus programs like AVG and have no problems. I don't install invasive software like AOL, I don't run IE, I don't try to rip off illegal music or DVDs and I don't visit porn sites. Every time you go to those kinds of websites you end up with spyware on your computer.
The simple answer is that avast saw programs that were pre-installed by the manufacturer as viruses because half of the fit the description of spy-ware. People who buy norton and the like are retarded because it is a system hog. I use AVG on all of my systems and it has found things that Norton and those other big anti-virus packages did not.
