I don't use an antivirus, nothing ever gets into this PC, I call it "The Maclinux", it's the most incompatible thing that ever existed, not even viruses know how to infect my baby ;)

I don't have conficker.

Is this some kind of a new virus that'll never catch on in the real world and will only affect 104-year-olds and aging mothers?

I will never know, I don't even use an antivirus. But as I say, viruses only get into your machine if you let them (manually!).

Words to LIVE by, my friend. I've been saying that as long as I've been into computers.

Because people think of hackers and virus like they see it in the movies: l33t h4x0rz who falcon punch their keyboards and magically enter into the FBI database, which they use to control a whole country by making one variable X.control = true. Same thing happens with viruses, they see it on the news and OH MY FREAKING GOD IT'S GONNA MAKE MAH PC BLOW UP INTO LIL' PIECES!!

Most viruses are triggered by users who enter places they shouldn't be getting into in the first place. Lots of them are also located on bad cracks and hoax cracks. No virus is ever gonna enter your computer magically because "somebody" planted it into your pc.
