Lost faith in Kaspersky and yeah ... Windows

I am sorry, but this actually happened, my IT geek friend told me today Kaspersky if got old, it will become weak. And this is truth, it was more than a year old. 3 years package isn't good.

@yugocean ...:(

@yugocean I guess all antiviruses gets weak as it gets old. You just uave to continue updating it so that it can uodate its list of latest viruses, malwares to fight for.

@yugocean I have always preferred browsers from the Firefox family, but it is a matter of taste.

Still need to ask many things, please be in touch I will continuously inform you. And yes, many times I have to use some writing like we have Words in MS. MS files will work in linux, or there are something else?

@topffer You mean I have to download extra softwares to do things. But I am ok with it, I just have to learn how they work etc etc. And perhaps different browser, what browser you will recommend?

@yugocean Over 3 years.

How much time you are with it?

@allknowing Over three years, this is too much. Are you using Kaspersky 2014?

This is what actually means, and we are perhaps the victims because actually antivirus companies are behind virus attacks.

@renicemae That is why I want to get rid of Windows as well better to move

@yugocean True. Business will always be business.

I am using Mobile now, not yet ready with laptop. But remember DJ, using more than one security in one PC will harm it.

@Daljinder is that more than one anti virus, or something else? One anti virus and one anti malware can work, but two anti virus running together will harm each other.

@yugocean We have one Desktop and 2 laptops. He tested them before we got laptop

I won't throw it away, but it have to be done, replacing it. Any advice?

@renicemae I am not IT expert, only some normal experience but not this. Maybe @topffer can advice, or any other but I don't see my other IT genuie myLot pals online now a days.

@renicemae @yugocean Yes, I have experience at both. I am not an IT specialist, either. I simply know my way around computers. Janice, you just have to shift the setting on the old HDD to slave unit and plug it in like normal. It cannot boot that way but can be read and files transferred without even using that program. The program is mostly fill with some spyware included so the designers can tell if there is anything on the old drive they can harvest to earn money from. Yugocean, there is nothing I can help you with. Sorry.

@yugocean I see! I also see that you want to install Linux. I'll look into that for the future as I don't like windows either.

@1hopefulman Vista is now outdated, soon Win 7 will follow, and then 8 and so on. We better move from Windows and viruses.

Mobile, and waiting to fix my laptop

@DaddyEvil I'll keep it in mind, cheers

@arthurchappell Why settle for "not bad" when you could have "excellent" instead? I suggest looking at Avast or Avira. Both are on the top charts in the United States. (Just a suggestion.)

@arthurchappell

We have to cross check the review.
