Is this right or they wong?

I recieved this message here



antivirus does your PC more harm then good, all of them.



(download Mozilla firefox, opera or safari then ditch internet explorer in other word don't use it, why??? cause its a bug magnet. and you will never have another issue)



and yeah i did go to a website showing the reviews of the diffrent AV and it shows (Avira is 98.85%)



Is this right or they wong?



I agree with the ditch Internet Explorer part and go with Firefox. Antivirus tend to use alot of resources so some people just rely on a really good firewall like zonealarm to keep them worms out before they even get in.



(Prevention is better than cure?)



Is this right or they wong?antivirus downloads



No one program can 100% stop infections or adaware. User education is always the best defense. In all honesty most programs attempt to cure a infection, not prevent it.



Prevention means not exposing yourself to malicious content to begin with, that could be done with a firewall, whitelists, blacklists and very safe surfing.



For much more info browse to the link and read some of the FAQ's

Use firefox.
That's very bad advice. While Internet Explorer does attract problems, going to another browser doesn't make anti-malware programs unnecessary. You still need an anti-virus, an anti-adware, and anti-spyware and a firewall, and anyone suggesting otherwise may be giving you intentionally malicious advice.
