How about this for a new ad campaign?


I guarantee that this programme will protect you from 100 new very destructive viruses which will be released in the next month.

Gangs have been getting protection money in the movies
(and in real life) for years now - maybe this is the new
protection racket.

There is a lot of hype surrounding AV programs. Not to mention lots of scare-mongering. Fact is, if everyone was a little bit more knowledgable about virii, and took some simple precautions, then we wouldn't have anywhere near as many problems with virii as we do now. I run AVG, and scan once in a while with Panda's ActiveScan, and I haven't had a single positive virus report in close to two years... because I practice some very simple anti-virus methods of my own, including not using Outlook (sorry, but it's true) anymore, not executing attachments before I check them out, etc.


Unfortunately most people online are just too uninformed, or stupid, to do this. Thus they become vectors for every new virus out there.
