Re: Off Topic
Scan it with your virus checker. If your virus checker can't do that or if you don't have one, get something free that's still good, like Avira Antivirus.

Virus checker, ok. I have to get one. Thanks Shrooblord!
Is this Babylon really a translator or are they lying about that?

Re: Off Topic
Wait, you don't actually have any? How long has this been the case? And how active are you on the web? With no virus checker to secure your PC, you'd be pretty lucky to have survived so long without suffering from viral casualties.Mammothphant 2 wrote:Virus checker, ok. I have to get one.

And as far as antivirus goes, I'm perfectly happy with Avira. It's free, it's safe and it doesn't bitch about wanting an upgrade so it can at least protect your PC decently. It does bitch about the upgrade, but it at least helps you out if you don't want it, unlike most 'free' antivirus software out there. But don't let that convince you - check yourself and see what you think.

If you're on XP, that is! On Windows 7, it's extremely difficult to get a virus, even without an antivirus.Shrooblord wrote:Wait, you don't actually have any? How long has this been the case?

I don't really trust Windows to handle my safety, not even if it's 7.

It actually handles your safety much better than a lot of antivirus programmes out there, believe it or not.Shrooblord wrote:I don't really trust Windows to handle my safety, not even if it's 7.
