    i tried it out for a bit...still enrolled to in on Connect...but like I said I find Anti-Virus silly for anyone who is remotely careful while they browse. Just use a little wit while browsing and trust your gut...no virus anytime

    You have to think too, some people like to use torrents to get software.
    Using torrents without an AntiVirus is just plan stupid, imo.

    Also you have to realise that some people aren't exactly pros at computers. Particularity young teenagers I have noticed (13-15 year olds) download from Limewire willy-nilly and when I open their IE half of the page is filled with toolbars.

    Then I have to spend a good amount of time fixing their PC D:
    Why anyone would want to install SmileyCentral Toolbar is beyond me.

    Do people still use Limewire???

    Isn't the main installer a virus? I've had to clean up so many machines after just an install of limewire

    Unfortunately they do :|
    One person tried "Frostwire"
    But that was basically the same, I still had to fix their PC from ruins afterwards.
