AV Programs that continue to dissapppoint

You could keep it more simple and use Chrome browser...which already sandboxes its sessions.

My household is a very high risk household when it comes to computer use...I can make the claim I haven't had a virus in over 10 years. And the one time my computer did actually catch a virus that was about 15 years ago...my girlfriend did it by double clicking one of the Outlook VCards that was a virus. Claiming "I haven't had a virus in XXX years" doesn't really mean much.

Well, I'm in a linux virtual machine because I like playing around with Linux, I guess I could use chrome too...lol


I think saying I have not been infected in over 7 years means a lot. It means if you know what you are doing or are using a Mac you don't need AV. For everyone else there is Norton and Mcafee, kaspersky or eset, Panda or Avast. Most of which slow your system down more than a virus would. No thanks. If you are a computer tech you should not have to run an AV.

I use Chrome when I'm flying *nix....it's nice because Chrome syncs across all my computers, regardless of what OS is on there. Same bookmarks, plugins, etc. But yeah I don't think about Chromes sandbox when I'm flying OpenSUSE.
