I've used it since 2000. Not 1 virus. What made me switch from Norton to Kaspersky? Viruses! **LOL** I just finished downloading Kaspersky. Do they have a real time selection, if so, I can't find it. |

What do you mean by Time Selection?

What do you mean by Time Selection? I meant does it protect while your computer is online. I just saw that setting is by default and is always on. This security system is a little different from others I've had. Thank you for helping me with this problem. I've scanned everything and it doesn't show anymore problems. Hopefully, everything will be okay. |

Yes, protection is always on by default. You should be good to go ;)
Like I said, you should install the full version of this, before the 30 days is up. |

Anyway (Haha!), this thread was an interesting read. I wouldn't advise reading the whole thread in 15 minutes as I did. It'll make your head spin.
 Noa's compassionate offer to help guide others in finding solutions is an extremely noble one. Others were quick to offer advice as well, and the differed outlook on software is well noted, confusing as it may appear. May I say that Windows 10 looks very promising. I have run the Windows 10 technical preview inside of a virtual computer (Virtualbox), and it looks/feels pretty nice. From what I understand, Windows 10 should be introduced to the masses sometime in April, and (for a brief time - possibly through the year 2015) the Microsoft giant is going to offer the Windows 10 upgrade free to both Windows 7 & 8 users. There are articles on this if you search for them. The one thing that I never could stand with Windows is having to build a security fortress around the system. This is where Isaac's posts both shined, and were dissed (overlooked). You want control over your operating system (os)? Take an older computer, and start learning Linux. There are literally 1000's of Youtube videos on Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Manjaro Linux, and many others. Most of these os's cost nothing, and viruses written for them can be virtually counted on one hand. My apologies for my lengthy comment, and (again) kudos to Noa! |

My apologies for my lengthy comment, and (again) kudos to Noa! Thanks for not dissing my comment, that happens a lot to things I post, but I don't mind. Curious you wouldn't happen to have a safe download link to a win 10 .iso ? Currently one of my laptops is Ubuntu, it's the one I gave to my gf, if you put a cinnamon overlay on it has a windows feel/look to it..perfect for beginner linux users. My orher laptop is win8 (gaming/study) wirh Virtualbox installed, on vm's I have 2 kali linux installed and winxp, im starting a pentest class soon and would live to test win8 for vulnerabilities compared to a patched version of xp, 7, and 8...I know a lot if back story but thats why I want the .iso or a .vmdk from a reputable source would work too |

No worries on the slight diss. I take those in stride :)
So, when a new OS comes out, are you guys all over it, or do you wait a year or so like I do? |

@ Isaac: The only thing released to date is the Windows10 Technical Preview. The "real deal" should be released sometime in April. Here's a good link for installing the tech preview: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-install-windows-10-technical-preview-as-a-virtual-machine/
As far as new Linux users, I might recommend starting with Linux Mint (or Mint) over the Ubuntu - reason being that Mint comes with many other applications (or programs) installed by default, and many of the codecs & settings are preconfigured. Mint also has several desktop environments (the way the desktop looks & feels) to choose from, and the cinnamon DE is one of them. Mate is another. @ Noa: Yes, I have waited for several months before installing a newly released os (operating system) on my main pc or laptop, but one can easily (and safely) install any of these os's in Virtualbox. There are many "how to" videos on Youtube about setting up a virtualbox on your pc. Oracle's Virtualbox is a good one, and can be obtained at their website: https://www.virtualbox.org/ |

Yes, but this is a dating website. Mentioning Linux is pointless because people know Windows. I know how Linux users get when someone disagrees, but it's true.
Now, on a tech forum, you would be up **** creek, except for the hardcore Linux users on your side...... which are fairly nill. |

Also, note that when Windows 10 is released, you will only have a window of time to get the free upgrade, possibly 'till the end of 2015? So you won't have the luxury of waiting "a year or so" on this one if you want it for free. After that time frame, it'll cost you. |

Anyone? Can you help me save my daughters photos from a computer that won't start up, probably due to viruses, or because it was 6 years old?
