yo,if u want to talk abt banks infos n datas n all,ur in the wrong thread bro..
yes,we are talking abt home use pc and laptops..
what are the "omg so important infos" are in our laptops anyways..
so dont worry abt those kind of viruses..
most of the viruses that infect our pc are those which slows our system down..but like puto said,it wont effect as much since our laptops (ALIENWARE!) are high end products..
i agreed when puto said anti-viruses only slows down ur computer..
this is because eventho u use anti-virus,ur pc will still get infected anyways..
fyi,viruses are made by anti-virus companies..so that they would have competetive advantage over their competitors..(make virus that no other anti-virus can detect except theirs)
so..as conclusion..absolutely no use..

well you can say whatever your opinion that you like. and i will accept as my respect toward you.
but i love to see if any of your laptop that not equipped with any antivirus infected with keylogger

I think the turning point to talking about antivirus here is when some claim BOLDLY that you dont need one. I don't see them being careful with their internet activities and their download patterns, otherwise I would agree that antiviruses are not necessary.
My M15X has ZERO antivirus app now, but I ran it SPECIFICALLY just for games, and patches and downloads are done from trusted sources. It ran without a hitch right to this moment. If you can deal with it this way, then yes, skip the AV. The moment you dabble with cracked .exe files, patches from unknown sources and the likes, you're like leaving your front door open with no locks on.
agree with you bro.
/kolos AV topic. want to discuss more, open new thread in Security Subtopic. looking forward to see you being bash by Trifecta later
