Comments on: Antivirus 2009 Malware – How to Avoid Infection http://www.thorschrock.com/2008/09/25/antivirus-2009-xp-antivirus-xpantivirus-malwar/ Peanuts to Profits With Thor Schrock Sat, 11 Feb 2012 08:10:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: dextermat http://www.thorschrock.com/2008/09/25/antivirus-2009-xp-antivirus-xpantivirus-malwar/comment-page-1/#comment-2048 dextermat Wed, 07 Jan 2009 20:51:25 +0000 http://www.thorschrock.com/?p=952#comment-2048 I dont think Norton 360 is the answer, its only a question of time before another variant comes out and you get infected by it (norton antivirus = 80 $ down the drain) Plus theres a chance that you'll have to reformat your computer (another 100$-150$ down the drain) Buy a copy of deep freeze, a recoverycard, much better investment I suggest avast antivirus, although it wont protect you against xp antivirus... Install Mozilla Firefox and WOT (Web of trust)extension, that would be the best protection up to this date; if you see popups you dont like 1) press alt+f4 to close the window 2) press ctrl+alt+delete and in the application tab, locate your web browser page and close it. Good luck I dont think Norton 360 is the answer, its only a question of time before another variant comes out and you get infected by it (norton antivirus = 80 $ down the drain)

I guess I should have also mentioned that most major anti-virus makers released their 2009 versions in September. They always release the next model year software in September, so the 2009 software has been available for over a month. Hey Ruby and Brian, I guess that does sound a little weird.

I got that line too. So I guess there's currently no protection against this infection as it's too far ahead in the future. Who said time travel did not exist? Viruses can do it... Lol! ;-) Lol!

LOL. Just wait until next year I guess. ;) Gotta love some of these quotes:
