If you mean AVG archives, you should be fine. Run a custom check in the archives just in case.

It has been archived because it is unable to cure it--therefore it is in the vault for that reason, if I am correct.

Meh...I haven't reformatted my Windows PC in longer than I can remember and I have not had any viruses in even longer than that.

The key is using your computer responsibly and keeping it in good condition.

It's like a car, gotta keep it in good order.

Because most viruses have the ability to disallow any anti-viruses or firewalls to install. You have to get rid of it first--and next time you might want to ask before you go buy something inferior to AVG. *Slaps*

I pitty the foo' that uses Norton Antivirus! :mellow:

I have now spent many many hours and about $75 trying to install anti-virus programs to fix my computer. At first they simply werent finding anything (mcafee and AVG) but now my computer is refusing to install them because the instilation wizards would not launch. Is there any way I can make my Install Wizards launch on Windows XP Home Edition?

There is a larger collection of software for POSIX compliant systems than there ever has been, or will be for windows platforms.

As for viruses, there are already various virii out that will affect linux systems. However, the architecture of the operating system makes it very hard for them to spread without targetted infection via social engineering.

The main reason not to use linux is that it is sucky. Much better to use a BSD (read: real unix)

"sucky"

Come'on, linux isn't that bad Talon. Unix may be more mature, the linux is more than ok, it supports more hardware than unix for example. It's just a matter of taste and computer it should run on. For a new laptop I would take linux, for a production server I would take unix.
