Do you have any computer security?
With adware becoming more of a plague for PCs, many systems are infected without the owners even realising it.
I know plenty of people that don't bother with any security at all - not even the basic windows firewall... crazy! Are you bothered about security?

Oh, and I'm sorry to say but you will never be 100% secure from the Internet ... not even if you never connected to it. Yes, that includes Linux.
Just keep in mind that you CAN get infected no matter what defences you use ... a good example was the WMF exploit, nobody was safe.

I would like to see what "security" you lot are taking ... what do you actually use?
Yes, I know we have had this question before ... but I do love a good laugh from time to time. So come on ... list what you use ... and tell us why you think it is good.
