Running Windows for 3 weeks no viruses and no anti-virus!
Lead Head:
I ran window for 3 months without anti-virus, i didnt get any viruses but the amount of spyware was incredible
Aloone_Jonez:
Did you have anti virus installed?
Did only access the Internet from a limited user account?
Have you installed any shareware?
Lead Head:
at that time i didnt have anti-virus and it was not a limeited acount with no sharware installed.When i finally got anti-virus it found no viruses but ad-aware found lots of spyware regularly, Even with Firefox. I get maby 3 or 4 different spyware every 2 months now so.........
Aloone_Jonez:
Yes that's because you used an administrator account which leaves your system wide open to infection - you're very lucky you wern't infected with a really nasty virus.
Lead Head:
ya, i was looking for an anti-virus at the time because i hated to keep paying for norton/McAffe
