Default Spy ware

It seems a lot of the time when I bring up the forum, there is a spy-ware that pops up about "my computer not protected" and wants to try and scan my computer.
I know spy-ware and this is total bull shtt.


There is a virus going around that targets this exact type of thing.

I enjoy this forum, and don't want vulnerable peeps to be compromised.

Its your computer, we dont have/allow pop-ups on the forum. Use adware to remove it.

i hate no Spyware or protection on my computer...deleted everything...In my mind all these virus and spyware are programmed to get past any type of protections you have....so i figured if i have none they wont target me....and so far have been decent aside from my Harddrive dyin on me....i only have 22processors running most of the time
