Or the program had a flaw, and someone put a virus in our computer cause of the programs flaw. As for the antivirus. I think Norton and McAfee both are only Number 2-3. Everybody only uses them cause they are popular. They aren't the best. I particually like Trend Micro. It's awesome, it updates everyday, and works really well. Or, if you wanna not get viruses/spyware/adware/malware/trojans/keyloggers/rootkits/botnets, you should use Linux. I use linux and it's awesome. I can go to any porn site I want, and not get a virus! -(Just kidding) |

In fact, the term "rootkit" comes from the fact that originally, rootkits were software "kits" that utilized the privileges of the "root" user to cause damage. |

Hm, and since Linux is devrived off of Unix, Im guessing it's a problem for linux too. God damn you Sony! |
