im just curious to know how long you a user can last without a firewall+anti virus + maybe an adawarre program since this is the de facto combo for securing ur box. NO,im not saying we all use them,and it doesnt mean that not using them makes u any smarter :P ,but again ... maybe we can have a challenge as to who can stay the ongest online without the above said trio WITHOUT CRASHING or ANY PROBLEM

PS: who ever does it though,i say is gonna be one brave dude :P I remmeber removing my zonealarm for 5 mins and i get all sorts of weird ad boxes,remote pings ,u name it !

Anyone with their experinces ?
 
Well me! At the present i dont have have:
Anti-virus
anti- spyware
firewall (but that sp2 firewall is on;but thats crap so dont take it as one :P )

I dont have these for the past 1 week or so... and will continue so till my system crashes :bleh:
 
last may ithink....
no firewall, no Av....i dont use adblockers anyway.
i lasted the whole of may, i dunno how..but in june i got all kinds of viruses(beagles, blasters, netskys.. wat not)..i just have it any more..
I had to take a lot of help from TA guyz(xtremely helpful) , but after then i always had a firewall.
 
I installed WIndows 2000 SP4 yesterday on my 2nd PC. COnnected to internet. And bang all it lasted was 7 Minutes before blaster and sasser attacked and brought it down. Just 7 minutes. I did not even opened the browser......
 
lol, even with ZAP, i think my pc has atleast 10-15 worms, all thanx to my LAN with my cousin :(
too lazy to clean all the mess up...
 
Windows XP SP2 fully patched + FF, since 4 mths now no issues. Infact I dont have any AV's installed.
Work:
Win 98se + Norton 2003 Updated + Zona Alarm pro set to highest settings. The machine is yet compromised...
