[penguin]

How many times do you scan your computer for viruses or adaware thingy or other stuff? I scan mine a LOT because of xanga. >.< And I find like 35 thingys for that adaware check. Blah..

When do you know you need to check it? I do mine when my explorer starts lagging. :D

[DrEaMgUy2K1]

i scan whenever i get alot more pop ups then i usually get, and when my comp is acting up...yep thats when i scan

[XaZnX07]

i do it every week and clear the catches and cookies everyday and i have norton so its a big help for keeping viruses out






.:tony:.

[jambaJUICE]

i scan with ad-aware everyday and defrag at least every other day, because of damn xanga, and that shizz lags me in cs @.@

[AznKutie]

[*stephinika*]

[sheepy]

like whenever my ie lags.

[whomps]

For my new computer, all the time. Like 2 times a day. Even though it's not connected to the internet. :D

[LatinaLady]

before i used to doit everyday. I did it cuzi would get so much stuff inmy computer, but now i learned how to make the computer be protected and soi do it once a week.

[queen]

i scan for ad/spyware at least once weekly. i scan for viruses every month, or when i know my pc got infected ;o

[pbear]

Whenever IE gets slow, or if I'm having trouble with the computer in general.

[TheSilenceInDict...]

I never lag, But I clear out Ad and Spyware every day.

[CrookedCriticism]

never... maybe I should start.

[*lolita kitty*]

every week or so
usually mah mom does it

[captivatedheart]

i run it everytime i reboot the comp

[inthemudhole]

About every week.
During the weekend.
Or my dad'll do it when I'm in school..

(*koff* Technology? *koff*)

[magnificentmike]

i dont scan mine since i have norton antivirus and i never turn off the auto-protect..

[*tweeak*]

only when it comes up automatically...i have McAfee and adaware and something else or other. they all come up at random times and i let them do what they want. i have to do it sometimes though because if i dont my stepdad does and hr also erases my cookies and i dont like to sign into things real often

[sweetxsimplicity]

I used to scan like once a day. Now I scan once a week.
I don't think Norton AntiVirus is really good. I made it scan this file that I was sure was a virus and it told me no infection found.

[DaTru KataLYST]

spybot

everytime an ad pops up

[*Expresseggroll*]

I scan for spyware maybe every other day.

I have REAL-TIME scanning for my Viruses, so, I don't need to scan often.

[NYsmiLez]

wenever that stupid blue spyware pop up comes up on my comp.

[dani41790]

i scan it like once a month

[laur3nw]

Heyyy you just reminded me. I haven't done it in a long time. I usually scan mine when I remember or when my computer begins to be really slow.

[distortedMIND]

I scan my computer at least one every other day. At least...

[JustPeachy]

[MusicalAngel]

I scan for viruses... scan with Adaware... scan with Spybot and then defrag... once a week. And then i restart the comp and all is new

[faithin_felix]

whenever i can?

[juliar]

My adaware and my virus thing both effed up, so I havent actually scanned in a while, probably two, three months?

[*kryogenix*]

[MasterNe0]

I scan about once a week using all my adaware and spyware destroyers and norton antivirus.

[fallen_angel1137]

I do my Ad-Aware every week or so even though i should do it more...and my scan my computer with Norton every two weeks or so...i know, more often!...lol

[Looow]
