READ THIS IF YOU HAVE A COMPUTER!!this is computer viruses not the viruses you get sick over.
everyone has a computer these days, and antivirus companies are making alot of money investing in viruses they built. Yes, this is true, most of the viruses out there are created by the antivirus companies. they do this so you would have to buy their antivirus in order to stop their viruses. Norton has its own set of viruses, and so does every other antivirus company.
basically we are the victims of this scam, the most common viruses out there are Trojan horse, and spy ware. not to mention all the other once. spy ware allows a hacker to see the screen of your computer, which they can than access your email address or bank accounts. however most banks have high security systems to their online data base.
the Trojan horse virus, just sneaks into your computer, and infects the files, and after a couple of months your computer shuts down, and wont start back up again.
so which type of antivirus should you use? between Norton, Kaspersky, Nod32, and AVG. i would say go with NOD 32, because nod32 is the fastest antivirus, this means that when you open the Internet explorer, it will show up faster. the speed of your Internet depends a little on your antivirus, and how fast it scans the pages you open. therefore Nod32 works the best for me.
ATTENTION: if you download an antivirus, and it keeps telling you that u have so many viruses, and you must get it to get rid of them..DON'T.. this is a virus, antivirus companies make these viruses, so you have to buy their product in order to get rid of their own virus... so NEVER download anything that says you have so many viruses.. click here to get rid of them :)
I have Mcafee and I love it. It has allowed my laptop to live for as long as it has. But this is very interesting I did not know they created viruses. That is stupid but that is how the company makes money. Companies know a days will basically do everything to get money. It is sad that is has come to this but it just will only continue to be like this.
ReplyDeleteWow, you just opened my eyes a bit. I don't think I've ever had a computer virus? If so, nothing that amounts up to what you're talking about. I've only heard of computer viruses coming from pornography... every time I hear someone say "I have a computer virus!" I instantly jump to the fact that they're a perv.
ReplyDeleteShows how much of a neanderthal I am...
However, it seems as though I'm a safe neanderthal. You know, considering i've never gotten a computer virus like what you're trying to explain. Come to think of it, I've never heard of a "Trojan Horse" virus. I have heard of Spy Ware, but it has never effected me.
You're right about the antivirus companies crating viruses. It's been my experience that the programs themselves are the virus. When I used to rock the PC, I noticed that the antivirus software (Mcafee) would tend to use more computer resources than the actual Windows OS! Believe it or not, the antivirus program that windows makes is probably the best one I've used. It's small, fast, and uses very little of the computer's resources. Google windows defender... It's free and worth a look.
