Thread-recognition crash-courses is something forum owners should look into. Might cut down on the overall thread count with the same question drasticly. PS: And sorry for the likely load of tippos. Not a native english speaker and a bit tired and lazy right now... Sorry, of course I ment “threat-recognition”.

I have been running XP without ANY Anti-Virus-Malware-Spyware or Firewall-Software for about 2 years now. I am behind a router (standard DSL-Router) with some nececarry ports forwarded. I use my PC daily and for hours on end. I browse alot and I download alot. Guess what? No virus in all of the 2 years. A streak only broken by 1 infection earlier this year (easily removed by booting in safe mode and deleting the responsible file in the system32 folder). And well, it was my own fault and I should have known better. And thats the key. People click on everything that blinks (in itself this CAN NOT cause an infection, unless you are using InternetExplorer) and when offered some dodgy "Super Codec" or "Free-All-in-One-Wonder-Tool" click on "download" (which, in itself, CAN NOT cause an infection) and THAN douple click that dodgy file.. If people would think before they act and if in doubt would use an on-demand virus scanner or even just google the fricking file name, no one would get infected. (unless they go online directly without a router or use [a not even updated] MS Internet Explorer [on dodgy porn sites etc]. A one hour crash-course in "Thread-Recognition" for all Internet Users would make the whole Anti-Something buisness obsolete. I dont realy understand the big deal.
