I've picked up some filthy malware lately, reformatted my computer but didn't download anything to protect my computer. I've already been infested again and may have to reformat.

Can you guys recommend some all star program? I'm not going to go through the trouble of reformatting again if I can't find a way to better protect my computer.

I use AVG Free
http://free.avg.com/us-en/homepage

I update all my software manually, so when I get an "update alert" I ignore it, scan my computer and then check said software for an authentic update.

Also, I'm vigilant about spam in my email inbox. If I don't know who sent it, I don't open it and I mark it as spam.

In all seriousness Kam, there isn't much more you can do. Virus and Malware softwares are only as good as their updates. Sometimes things will get past them. Also, softwares that we need to use everyday may have a security hole that hasn't been patched.

Be sure you set a restore point so you can use System Restore.

I couldn't download porn even if I wanted to. My kids would find it.
Besides, the last porn I saw involved two chicks being hunted in a ~~backyard~~ forest and one got shot in her jinky with a ~~dildo~~ arrow from a bow. Not exactly the kind of scene that turns you on, yanno? It was only disturbingly comedic. So until they come up with a better plot, I'm not going to scour the interwebs for porn.

Anyone else ever see the porno spoof, Lord Of The G-String?

Sounds big budget. How about looking into amateur stuff?

As long as the camera doesn't pan to anyone's face's I guess I'd be ok with that.
