[QUOTE="TairikuOkami, post: 1060959, member: 61892"] To be fair, I am a complete noob as far as security goes, I am not a hacker nor a programmer, but I have not used AV since XP (long term) and I was never infected. AV companies just stress out, that people get infected within seconds, if they go on the internet without AV or a firewall, that is a nonsense on 10/11. I just follow basics rules, like do not run a random exe, block vulnerable ports, etc. I believe I am fairly protected against automatic malware, but as far as hackers go, there is no protection. Even NSA or FBI fail at that. If someone is targeted, it is just a matter of time. [/QUOTE]
