those who cannot afford paid version..AV companies are generous enough to give FREE version of AV (avira,avg etc)
why to take so much hassle of manual work
So much $$$ on Anti virus yet we are still infected!!

Gear up ...
Because OP is indirectly saying that piracy is good.
Once(2-3 years ago), I was banned(1 week) for writing something related to piracy stuffs(not given any links, etc). If u guys have made rules a bit flexible, then its good, because I left TDF for a year after the 1 week ban

Some people might feel it as hassle but I do not
you really think that I do that bcoz it's free? I don't use AV bcoz it's got that geek factor. Been using PC since there used to be P4 and 256MB RAM and always knew AV use up too much resources and were not fool-proof, so decided to go AV-free(without any viruses). I always thought most of Digitians were AV-free but this thread proves otherwise.

Lol..this thread is great..shows all kind of users:
O.P and some others-->uses antivirus,still worried about them.
Diablo and avi-->dont even care about antiviruses,and are happy.
Others -->uses antivirus and are neutral.
And then there are the Linux users.

Using Linux is not really the solution, for example why would n00b living next door use Linux? Why would a gamer use Linux? Linux also got some issues with Hardware Compatibility. Normal user won't ever need/use multi boot.
Regarding Licence Agreement you should read the the heading of window, what you're exactly installing and then click "I agree"

+1. Linux ain't that user-friendly like Windows. I am from computer background and I find it irritating sometimes , I can imagine what a layman might face.Using Linux is not really the solution, for example why would n00b living next door use Linux? Why would a gamer use Linux? Linux also got some issues with Hardware Compatibility. Normal user won't ever need/use multi boot.

Actually for non gamers, lunix is perfect for no virus. In fact, noobs should not use windows. Old man used to click i agree and ok for anything, cudn't explain what kind of stuff to avoid, or say dont use usb with other comps. so got him to use sabayon. He could use it easily without any prompts. Problem solved. Cousin also not too tech savvy, but uses linux mint just because no viruses.

^Yes, from one angle , linux does look easy to use. Mainly, if one uses a pc only for accessing the web. But simple running of , say, multimedia files can be cumbersome due to non-availability of codecs. Also, since Windows is so popular some websites run only on IE.

Almost everyone in India starts with Windows including noobs, uncles & digitian. Noobs are so much used to Windows that they won't even migrate from Win XP to Win7 and how'd they upgrade to Linux. I think Linux is better for old people as they won't use their PC for work other than listening to music, watching movies, using Internet or office suite. If you want to game and also use Linux, multi boot might be the only option.

Anyone here with non computer background
user friendlyness depends on the user. Some user like keyboard(to execute program in terminal) where some like mouse(click click click). Hardware compabilty is the only issue in Linux.

1. Improve your English.
2. In the second quated paragraph you are talking like a illiterate village idiot. No antivirus have the liability to clean up your computer unless you use your PC carefully. Using a PC carefully is your liability & duty.
Why your computer running slow? Stop watching stupid things like p0rn and clicking random things.
Owning a PC or laptop do not really make you a good used of it, but you have to master it to avoid problems. Any 4-5 year old kid can have their own laptop & tablets. Make sure you are not using it int he same way they do.
Do educate yourself, please.
3. Nothing is free. And you decided to pirate the software? This reflects your mindset as well as the things that you were taught by your family when you were a child (or you still are).
Seriously, GFY.

Wow wow smarty pants easy with your tone. Firstly you don't have any right to pass judgement on someone's mother and father based on one comment from among hundreds already made by him. Instead it shows what kind of person you are. Other members were apathetic and took my words with a pinch of salt. I could spew insults like you did but i am a bigger person so i will refrain from doing so, as of now.
I am not the only person who gets infected with virus despite proper care. Look at National Defense depts that get hacked. You think they are careless?. No, its just that they were seriously targeted. I am on a govt. VIP line and its always on, same with he Secretariat and all, anyone is free to take just that till 10GB speed is good and after that its 256kbps. Any visitor and people strolling by are free to lap up the leftover bandwidth
once my 10Gb limit is finished. I don't know if its true but technicians say the govt. lines are high priority targets among potential hackers.But i am not here to discuss that. Sorry for the diversion caused by a person who thinks he is an expert judge of character.
See, the "onewebsearch" problem still persists despite all the diagnostic measures i could gather. There are a lot of "solutions" on the internet, and all have to do with
1) Change/Remove the default search engine
2) delete a process called random.exe
The problem with me is that those two things don't exist for me. There is no random.exe, no entry of onewebsearch in the search options...To be sure i removed all cookies,history,search items,extensions, checked startups... everything...still this problem persists.
I would be thankful if anyone could come up with a solution, or maybe use some remote access/remote desktop/control kinda thing and take control of my PC and put some of their tech knowledge for the service of mankind
. When i was at chip forums a friend of mine did it for me. It was great fun, it was my first time,and problem was solved too. Its like ur PC is haunted,mouse cursor moving on its own free will some unknown force is controlling ur PC or thing like that... And lemme just "quated" all knowing,great angreziman Mr. Know-it-All Bong back to him- GFY
Ok, i discovered something..

In IE there are 2 extensions which dont show up on google search, and they cannot be disabled . I tracked it down to C:\ProgramData. There inside their respectively folder, it held the uninstall exes. I clicked, and just as i thought, nothing happened...
What now?? ;(
