Thread: Freakin Trojan (Symantec Sux)

Yeah I remember when that happened..I think I had just caught the Antivirus-360 bug too..So after I rebuilt my hard drive, I cloned it to another Hard Drive and now I have a perfect image (less the recent updates) ready to go...

I've always heard that MACs are less susceptable to internet born viruses..because most the A-holes that create the bugs are on PC machines..so it is written, so it shall be..

I also now use AVG..best one out there for PC type computers for the money IMO.

Lil' Buster's so CUUUTE!

I'll check out that AVG, a friend of mine said it was GREAT is it FREE? Alevins right Lil Buster is kinda cute!!

I use VMware....When I get a computer, I load VMware and take a snapshot of the computer.

This is my baseline.

Then I restart my computer, open up my WMware clone and use it.....When I load all my apps...I take another snapshot.

Then I go to the internet and update all my software straight from the Vendor.

Then I take another snapshot and I'm done......I use a clone of the complete system....NOW, when a virus or trojan hits.....I just close the clone.....create a new clone and use that.......

No more tape/cd/dvd backups and it rocks.....oh use an external hardrive for documents, spreadsheets, etc......

I've used Zonealarm for years. Seems to be working well for me, though they have become as bulky as Norton over the years.
