I take the time to educate them on what to watch for. No AV program in the world is going to save people like that from themselves.

I even had one guy say "Look! your PC is infected with the same virus I have and Norton missed it.", pointing at the same fake AV pop-up that fooled him. Click on every pop-up without reading it. They will always click on the UAC boxes without reading them. I have Windows7 running in Virtual Box with UAC set to the lowest level. While I am working on their machine I will offer to let them use one of mine to surf. Then they bring their computer to me and say "I am using Bla-bla-bla AV, but it still got infected, So-and-so at work says Bla-bla-bla AV is crap because he got infected too." It always amazes me how the guy that gets infected with a virus always seems to become the office AV expert. They believe their real AV program missed something that this pop-up supposedly detected. Because they heard someone who fixes computers calling their chosen AV program crap. This has been happening a lot recently, and statements like yours lead more people to believe these fake pop-ups. Things spin quickly out of control from there. The rest were fooled by fake AV and system dialog pop-ups and ignoring any real warning messages when loading a trojan AV program onto their system that disables the real AV program. I have found less than 1% of virus infections were because the users AV program of choice failed to detect the infection 90% of the time it's the user ignoring warnings.

I also clean many other peoples computers of viruses and trojans, but I do it just because I like helping people and working with computers. Sure I have downloaded and received plenty of infected files through the years but all were caught by whatever AV program I was using at the time. I have never had any of my computers get infected with a virus. I was a avid BBS user back in their day and started surfing the internet in 1992 on a dial-up UNIX shell. I have been using, building, repairing, computers since the early 80's. As I am typing this the Windows7 Sidebar is using more RAM and CPU time than Norton. Granted a decade ago it used a lot more, but things have changed and Norton has vastly improved since then. The Symantec framework process peaks at about 2.5 megs of RAM and 17% of the CPU time. I am using the Norton Security Suite Comcast gives out for free, but only because it's free, not because I an some Norton fanboy. See even a false positive has its reasons, read people!Ĭlick to expand.:roll: and here I was hoping this was over with, but you had to go and make such an ignorant statement.

So evidently RR has old code and needs a Shockwave Flash update so they are no longer being blocked for fear of the exploit. They blocked many of them that included some code which was susceptible to the exploit.
I did some research, the Shockwave Flash problem is due to an infection in the wild targeting SWF files attached to emails and malicious websites. So you believe what you want, but i have 8 years of staying safe, three years with five computers running Avast with ZERO problems. In the last three years with Avast i get a DAILY update that includes thousands of definition updates. I switched from AVG due to the dropoff in popularity and the slower release of large definition updates. Why do you think Norton wanted to buy AVG a couple years ago? LOL If you have millions using Avast and only one million using Norton (just making an example so relax) then you have more people coming across the infections and getting them reported so that definition updates can be put in place. The population of users are followed by the most effective AV. Why? Well its pretty simple to answer, most of the trade magazines i get are saying the same. The only systems i have dealt with which had infections in recent years were using Norton and McAfee. Since then i used AVG for about five years, and now Avast for the last three. Not to mention how Norton bogs a system down to be almost unusable. Click to expand.I would rather have an AV give false positives then never catch anything!!! When i had Norton, about 8 years ago was the last time i used it, i had three infections in two months which had to be cleaned out with other programs.
