I tried it once and it detected itself as malware, and it deleted itself.

People still use anti-viruses in the year 2015 minus 22 days?

You'd have to be stupid not to. Even pop up ads still contain java exploits that get in purely because you rendered the web page.

I seriously thought this would be Anti-Virus 2014 but when i opened the page all i seen was avg and avast :(

Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.

One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM.

 I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life

Uh, no. You'd be stupid if you got a virus in the first place.

 

I haven't used anti-virus since around 2006. I haven't encountered a single issue, because I am not tech illiterate and actually have common sense.

 

Also, that's what security add-ons like AdBlock and NoScript are for.

so in a way you ARE using an anti-virus. "stupid" is a strong word. Don't be such an arrogant jerk.

I run adBlock and NoScript and still get java and pdf exploits sometimes because of the damn background ads that run on tv show sites like watchseries, fairytailclub, naruget, etc.. I guarantee you have a couple on your system if you've been anywhere that can bring up an external page.

Java needs to be specifically and manually allowed to run each individual instance on your system. If you are getting Java exploits, you're doing something wrong.

 

Random PDFs are blocked by NoScript, or automatically by Firefox and any other browser that is actually decent. If you are getting PDF exploits, you're also doing something wrong.

 

I do not have any on my system.

I use the most recent version of Google Chrome. It's not my browser choice. Second, no, javascript runs without your consent. Third, bullshit.
