Posted 18 Sep 2005 by VinylPusher Post: <blockquote>Don't forget that most AV packages also have a process running to try to stop in memory activity. I am not sure if Norton AV was causing my CPDN crashes as I have never uninstalled it to check ... hmmm, if/when I get time I guess I will have to try to remember to do that ... OS-X is pretty robust so the risk should be low I suppose ...</blockquote> My solution, do not use AV. Do not visit unknown websites. Do not use IE. Do not download software using filesharing utilities. Use webmail instead of a client. I check for viruses every 6 months or so (a quick install of Norton usually does the trick). I haven't had a virus since I got rid of my Amiga 1200 (>6 years ago). Just be careful out there1 |
