• Friend blames me for their computer virus that fucked their computer

So my friend was using norton and she said her pc was shitten by it, so I reccomended AVG to her and she said it was much better and got rid of all viruses and made her pc quicker. so that was all good 2months later I was sent this lovely message: "ur stupid avg thing u suggested fucked up mi computer and i lost everythin on it" "well it let in a virus and ate away all my software and i ahd to reboot my pc " Now we all know that if you get a virus that avg will pop up and say virus detected and let you choose: Delete, Heal, Send to Virus Vault. from then on it will do any of that and it will all be ok, but she is saying that it never did any of that. And that this virus that seemed to slip by AVG and somehow managed to delete everything exept her pictures doesnt seem legit. And the tech guy that came round her house said that AVG was shit and caused the problem. Someone care to explain how that happened? as I have no ide and I just think my ever so lovely friend was a idiot and downlaoded some thing orlooked at a dodgy porn website, clicked on a add that had a virus etc etc :rant:
It could be because AVG isn't updated anymore.
I don't use an anti-virus. As longs as you pay attention to what web-sites you visit and what you download you shouldn't have any problems. Tell her she's and idiot.
the tech guy was proboably his crush next door who was a gamer and knows some shit about computer, or you frriend is stupid as shit.

AVG is actually pretty not good. Should have told her to get Avast! or N0D32
See, I try not to help my friends with tech problems. This is because if you fix it, everything is all well and good, but the moment something goes wrong, they blame you.

Tell her she's and idiot.[/QUOTE] We've proved this as pretty stupid a few weeks ago when Facepunch ads started delivering a malicious payload. Regardless of whether you paid attention to what you visited and what you downloaded, you were vulnerable to that one. No anti-virus means you're vulnerable to every threat which doesn't require user intervention, despite how 'smart' you may think you are. Having one means you're covering more attacks. It's useless and dumb not to have one.

What are friends for? Honestly, I think my friend has a fake copy of norton. Because his computer is way slower than my old one, which is worse and his virus scans come clean, and his HDD is defragmented and temps are good.
Ill think I will try N0D32 when I get my next pc, Ive had AVG for 5years and no problems on the loads of pc's I have put it on until that one
Yeah, NOD32 is good
