Help with f***ed up virus

Yes, I agree, I missed Avast in my list. I will add it in.
AVG Free is a very basic AV version and have worked well on that basis. It 's protection is fairly decent, but the removal once you're infected is not that great, especially some nasties.

I don't mind paying for something which does a better job, which is generally the case.

Streaming wouldn't help either, you need to cache it before watching it anyways.

You know, for a person that hates asshole who use free stuff from internets. You sure know a lot about all these illegal stuff.

AVG sucks, pure and simple. It always missed certain viruses. Better off using Kaspersky and NOD

I think he means to stream content instead of downloading it. Not entirely foolproof, however, since nasties can still download in the background. The best way to avoid acquiring malware and viruses is:

1. Don't visit dodgy sites - this includes any warez sites, and pretty much any "free" porn sites (sorry).
2. Don't use warez. Seriously - cracked software is not only illegal, it's also almost always carrying piggybackers, especially keyloggers. Apart from everyone's favourite cracked copy of the latest Photoshop, this also includes disk mounting software and any other software designed to circumvent DRM and copy protection. This stuff isn't coded by nice people, and it's not distributed by nice people. Don't be a cheap asshole - buy software.
3. Disable autorun - lots of malware propagates via flash disks. If autorun is enabled, malware can execute itself the moment an infected flash disk is introduced to the system.
4. Don't download torrents. You don't know where they've been.
5. Use a firewall and AV application always. AVG is popular, reputable, and reasonably reliable.

It's a joke :P

Whenever someone gets a virus you tell them to stop downloading their porn and stream it instead.
