get WINE
install patches
tweak it
get frustrated

April Fools!!!!!!!!
 
its an april fools joke you noobs.
 
ya it happens every year
 
I never will pay for anti-virus, they use up resources and for what? I've never had any viruses before in my 9 years of PC gaming.

Ditto. I even dowloaded Comcasts free suite and uninstalled it after a week... got tired of a boot time 3x longer than before.
 
be that as it may. the big scare yesterday was the april fools joke.
 
well i havent run anti virus in years, no anti spyware, no updates(on this machine i use 24/7) and i havent gotten it. i ran the remover a few times now and it tells me i dont have it so im good.
 
Does anyone else think its cool as hell how the conficker virus works? I mean, it just blows my mind someone can write something so intelligent and optimized.

Ran Malicious Software Removal Tool says im clean :confused:
 
I haven't had antivirus software since June of last year, they are too bloated. I use firewalls and haven't had a problem. Why? Because I'm not an idiot. I know exactly what my computer does and where I surf.
 
there's a link on the detection tool page to windows live onecare. it will detect it with just a browser plugin and scan.

Windows has a built in utility to check for and remove the CONFICKER. Just type MRT into RUN and click enter. You dont need to download anything. If you removed MRT you can re-install it from MS updates.

:toast:
 
No Viruses here! NEVER!

I ran into that update error a few month ago. I couldn't even check for updates, let alone install them. A clean install was the only course of action for me.
