well its a well known fact that NOrton installs viruses on our systems then gives itself a pat ton the back when it removes them. its called justification of existence. honestly think about it. all virus manufacturers di except Kaspersky.

@32ndegree i see your point but its better than mcafee which is what i have.. i said in the vid that norton was built on my computer but was never activated however mcafee was, when i got a virus from a bad download norton was the one that warned me mcafee didnt detect anything when i did a complete scan so based on that and other reviews and comments i get from others, it think norton is the best

I use " Linux Mint " or "Debian Linux", or " Fedora 15 " to download , and porn surf , because Linux doesn't need anti-virus software. As far as I know there are no known viruses for Linux desktop. There are over 700 Linux distribution and they are free . I like "Linux Mint " because it comes with all your video plugs already installed. Plus you can run Linux off or a CD with out installing it if you want, and it will not make any changes to your computer.

@maw88ify i tried to run linux off a cd but found problems with it so i just installed it with no issues

Did you install it in Windows using the WUBI installer it comes with, or did you do a install by partitioning your hard-drive ? I always do a full install by partitioning my hard-drive , and sure it's a little harder to do , but it seems to run smoother . I'll send a list of some of the cool stuff I use in Linux. I also turned my computer in an FTP sever so I can down load , and share files with any computer in the world. I can show you how if you want to try it.

@maw88ify i used wubi so idk why wouldnt work cuz a friend of mine introduced me to linux and he nor i could get it to run off the disk so i just had to install it... can u show me what i have to do then please??

@TonicTech Sure to get to run off a CD you would need to put the cd in restart your computer. Every computer is different you may need click F2, F12 , or ESC after you reboot .

@maw88ify ok cool thanks

@TonicTech It should say what button to push to change the boot options when you restart in white writing . On some computers you may need to change the boot order in BIOS so that it boots for a CD every time there is a CD in the drive when you restart . The WUBI install is easy Linux Mint has WUBI in the iso file , and you can just burn the image to disk , and run the CD inside Windows to install it. Then you just restart and it'll change the boot screen, or mount the ISO with daemon tools
