It is not charitable to turn your back on the less able and those in
need. Normal people are able to see through the abuse and recognise that
it is a mask. It usually comes down to a person who thinks they are near
expert in a subject, but in fact know very little. To try and stop
themselves being made to look stupid they hurl abuse around hoping that
you won't notice they have tried to shift the focus. There also usually
tends to be a lack of achievement, bitterness and poor human contact/
social skills in these people and they deserve pity. Abuse is just the
handrail of a crippled mind and you need to give these simple people a
hand up from the gutter from time to time. You normally tend to find if
you engage them in worthwhile conversation after a while they want to
join in and be included on the same level as everyone else.

It is freeware, which is always of interest to an Opensource bug like me.
It has not always been rubbish either.

Ultimately, none of them are any good if you have an idiot working the
box. When I run windows (which is rarely and only for those apps that I
'must have'), I use ClamAV. I made the error of giving AVG8 a spin, and
found it to be pants IMHO. For intrusion detection I've happily used
Snort for a long time.
In the interests of balance it's not just the windows users out there
that suffer from bad code and crashing applications - Linux is pretty
much ace at that too. As far as security goes a Linux user running a
machine with a whole load of open ports and unnecessary services ticking
over is no safer than any other OS user. A Linux user who assumes he is
safe because he runs Linux may be no safer than a windows user who is
savvy to security IMO, that is.

I'm just trying to understand what has gone wrong in your life to make
you feel so aggressive. Do you want to talk about it, or are you getting
some help?

Although I appreciate your interest, understanding something
might be an intellectual step too far in the dark. The only
problem is morons who cannot understand a simple imperative.
And no, I would rather not talk about it, so fuck off.
