Yes and no. If you reinstall before a year is up, apparently they don't charge you. I've reinstalled Norton numerous times after a new reformat, and I've as yet had no charge, even though I've had it sitting around for years and years.Originally posted by prafull

Well I thought that antivirus only protects your PC...........Originally posted by Zephon
as long as I don't get infected.
Not smart, some times your best friends accidently send you mail with a virus in it, happenned to one of my friends and with this virus, EVERY .exe. file ran was deleted, yo really should put something on there.Originally posted by Enigma1982
I never use anti-virus program but I also don't recive any file from any people who I haven't trust.

you can just install nortos set on manual protection, allowing you only to activate it when needed.Originally posted by Enigma1982

I think anti-virus software slow my PC down so I don't use it.
I never or open recive any .exe or even .jpg from email.
But when I need to use that file I will install anti-virus program and when I finnished I uninstall it that my way.........

Thats what I do and i think thats the best way to do it.May be you can enable the email protection if you are not sure about the files you receive through mail.Originally posted by Ryoga

Absolutely true.I still remember the first virus I faced was on a game floppy disk "Cricket" which I got from a friend and it was called Die Hard.But it didnt created many troubles.i think I used "Dr. Solomons tool kit" to remove that one.Originally posted by Betamax
I use NAV 2000. Its free to students at my uni. So far thanks to this program I've avoided being infected approx 4 times. Here's the important thing to note. In my experience you are more likely to catch a virus from a floppy disk/cd that you borrow from a mate than from some unknown website.
