Like I'm supposed to believe any of your lies Mr. 2 posts.

Fear, uncertainty and doubt...

No, do not believe, see for yourself.


Monstrous ogre, perhaps you expect us to believe in your FUD? In that case you should open your virus vault or scan history, take a screenshot and post it here so we can see those numerous viruses knocking on your door every hour, all those that were caught trying to get you in the last week, or the whole year. Then we will also be able to see how many of those are not viruses at all, how many you downloaded yourself, how many got there through some automated process or background service, and how many got there without any help from you or your system software what-so-ever.

Can you do that, please?



By the way, and believe it or not, in my experience trying to make a system more secure, having automated updates enabled and stuff, can actually get the system infected easier and sooner than if you do nothing about it, not to mention ordinary conflicts and system crashes due to upgrades and automatic downloads that have nothing to do with viruses and still can completely break your system to do point you have to make a clean install.

It's not really that viruses are dangerous, it's more about Microsoft making lousy software. It's also not about enabling stuff and having additional software to keep you updated and secure, it's about disabling and removing all this crazy software and background services that uses internet connection on their own, keep open ports for no good reason and without consulting user about it, those are the real infections on your system.

Indeed the internet is not just a cesspool waiting to rampantly infest PCs upon connection. Computers can not talk between each other just like that, there has to be a software on a local machine explicitly instructed to open ports and actually LISTEN and APPROVE incoming connection REQUESTS.

Sorry, but you are just wrong. If you understood the topic in greater depth, you would know why. But I'm not going to waste time lecturing someone who has no desire to learn.
