Symantec Exec Warns Against Relying On Free Antivirus
thefickler writes "Clearly, the rise of free antivirus is starting to worry Symantec, with one of their top executives warning consumers not to rely on free antivirus software (including Microsoft's Security Essentials). 'If you are only relying on free antivirus to offer you protection in this modern age, you are not getting the protection you need to be able to stay clean and have a reasonable chance of avoiding identity theft,' said David Hall, a Product Manager for Symantec. According to Hall, there is a widening gap between people's understanding of what protection they need and the threats they're actually facing."

stopped using anti-virus software years ago, because I've discovered in all reality it's for idiots who don't know how to use a computer... i haven't ever had a virus (end of story).
I don't need anti-virus because I use Linux (Ubuntu, Puppy, PCLinuxOS)! "Malware", Virus, Worms, Trojans, etc., do not effect my PCs.
You are such a stupid dumb fuck M$ shill that I doubt you can find your own arse.
Linux and Unix systems do not get viri because they are, unlike Windows, __NOT__ totally broken to start with and they get fixed when needed, for free.
Viruses are a user idiocy problem. The only protection is to not let idiots use computers. Who is going to protect us from the drain and data loss caused bye the anti[sic]-virus programs?
