[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 827405"] You highlight a very, VERY important aspect of computer security. Your overall habits have a lot to do whether or not one gets infected. If your the type of person who likes to download cracks, pirated software, click on ads, open every email attachment you get, etc.... you will more than likely get infected at some point, no matter which security product you use. Now if your the complete opposite, the chances of you getting infected are extremely low. That's not to say someone cant get infected via exploit, or drive by download/USB, but the chances of a home user running into these things is low, especially if you keep everything up to date. While it's still a good idea to have a security program installed to be on the safe side, your habits will always play the biggest factor in all of this.:)(y) [/QUOTE]
