I am not very good at computer and I don't kill the virus very often. some of my colleage has set up a auto kill virus tool on my computer, but I don't know if it is work well,but I still don't care it. I only try to kill virus when it affect my work. maybe it is a bad habit, I think. so how often you will kill the virus for your computer?

dear sally, it advisable to have a good antivirus software turned on automatically so that your computer gets cleaned of viruses and spywares. its a MUST for everyone. personally speaking, i go for a virus scanning every other day. i have symantec doing the protection and Adaware scanning for spywares. for double safety, i take regular backups of my documents. i think, for love, war and computers you never know. LOL...

Adaware detects things that other things cant. It is really helpful.

I do a full check every monday morning by setting a schedule. But with the increasing of the files number stored in harddisk, it generally will take hours to check. So I prefer only to check driver C and open the real check.

That is the best way to do it. This way you can always know and pick up if something is going wrong on your computer.

Never! Viruses never touch my computer. They'd have a hard enough time getting past my IPS firewall in the first place, and in case they ever manage, my registry and system32 folder are locked to ROM. NOTHING and NOBODY makes changes to MY machine without MY permission. For your viewing pleasure, here's how I score in PC Security Test 2006: http://www.mylot.com/w/image/1488078.aspx

You should consider setting up a virus scan that checks your computer at intervals be it daily or monthly where it checks your computer at particular time that has been set.

Don't leave any viruses on your computer because they can affect your system files causing your computer to crash. Another good reason to run a virus scan and eliminate all viruses is because your viruses can infect someone elses computer. I run a virus scan at least once a week and a spyware program twice a week. So, kill all those virus critters! Take care Sally.

In my opinion it is really unhealthy for a computer to have viruses. You never know what a certain virus can do, as giving other people access to your computer or even deleting certain files at certain moments. So I think you really should clean up your computer even when it doesn't seem to affect your work and then install a firewall to keep viruses away. As for me I must confess I do not clean my computer very often as I have both a firewall and a running antivirus that should automatically detect any virus. So at least theoretically I should not have any viruses so that's why I don't check my system very often (even though I probably should, it's a good practice)
