    Psh. As long as you have a virus scanner, and a decent firewall [either Kerio or a router firewall], you're alright. Unless you're a fucking dumbass who clicks every link they see, and accepts every download prompt. >_<

    Even though everyone says ZoneAlarm is good, I personally don't like it that much.

    I don't laugh at the virus. I laugh at the idiots dumb enough to open it :lol:

    "Hmm....some random person sent me an executable attachment. My e-mail program warned against opening it, and my antivirus program told me it was infected......*click*....oh shit!"

    Well, is this only spread by email attachment? Because I never open email attachments when they are not expected/from people I dont know.
