I still have viruses sneaking past both, Mostly spyware junk that I can get rid of easily. But everytime I run a scan I find that my Mircosoft anti virus program has been shut down. Anyone know why? Does Norton or Spy Bot do it automatically or is there something else I should look for?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ken]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 24th 2009 2:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/24/new-version-of-conficker-virus-can-update-itself/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/24/new-version-of-conficker-virus-can-update-itself/</guid><description><![CDATA[Norton's security suite will disable Windows securty. When you run Spybot S/D you will see this in 'results' of scan. Conflict problems will arise if both are operational.

Last Time I checked... The GEEK SQUADS were out of a job, and look'n for work.  A geek is only as good as, his or her knowledge about computers. There are geeks and then, THERE R GEEKS... that are half machine or somehow connected to ' The Borg'... U know the types.. with  umpteen pens and pencils in their shirt pockets...with tape holding their glasses together on the bridge of their long pubises, and of course...their dis-sheveled shirts that don't match their pants & wear white socks. I believe Bill Gates was like that, or still is.....??  <br>Heck ! With his dough, I'd dress like that too.  Good Luck.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Greg]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 24th 2009 10:30PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/24/new-version-of-conficker-virus-can-update-itself/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/24/new-version-of-conficker-virus-can-update-itself/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hey FREDDIE BASS,<br>DID YOU ASK OBAMA?  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Carm]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 24th 2009 4:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/24/new-version-of-conficker-virus-can-update-itself/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/24/new-version-of-conficker-virus-can-update-itself/</guid><description><![CDATA[Carm: I'm afraid that we've ALL got the Obamavirus. Nothing seems to be able to stop it but awareness and common sense (apparently not readily available in the U.S.A.) or the "BirthCertificateAntivirus," of which, it seems, there are no copies available anywhere in the Free World. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Robbie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 25th 2009 6:21AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2009/02/24/new-version-of-conficker-virus-can-update-itself/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2009/02/24/new-version-of-conficker-virus-can-update-itself/</guid><description><![CDATA[I am with everyone else tired of the viruses and issues with all security<br>problems.

Problem solved. Windows is a joke. When are you people going to wake up? I've had both, a PC and a MAC. I will never own a PC running Windows ever ( though I am running Windows XP on my MAC. ) But guess what I am still impervious to viruses. <br><br>Some say MAC's are expensive, well think about the operating system you get, = no viruses and no anti-virus software. Why? Because they can't run on MAC's or Linux.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jayson]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 24th 2009 5:16PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
