Can you get viruses from videos (wmv, avi, mpg)?

Sure you can!..There are many methods to spread virus..NEVER open anything loaded from a P2P server without checking it first!...If you have Norton just Right Click and choose "scan with Norton"..very easy..and better safe than sorry..

Norton sux, get Avast

Hey Billabon864 just wondering why you say Norton SUX have seen you post it many times in the forum. I run norton and avast both and really dont see much diffrence in there efficincey or preformance, When new virus definitions come out sometimes avast has it first and sometimes norton has it first. They both take about the same amount of time to scan my computer and if I put a file on my hard drive with a virus in it on purpuse they will both find it. Avast uses a little less memory but is not as user frindley as norton so there is a trade off for memory usage.Personally I prefere norton because it is so user frindley but both are good AV programs where have you found Avast to be superior to norton or is it just personal prefrence. Buy the way Nice Graphics.

Hi Grandpa

I too use Norton AntiVirus and was also wondering why Bill seems to dislike it so much.

Now that you have written an unbiased view on both Norton AV and Avast I will now certainly stick with Nortons.

I am still interested in buying "Wolverine".

ok, I didnt mean to be so critical of Nortons, I used it for a while and I thought it was great, but then i thought i would try avast, It found three viruses on my comp. that nortons never found and i kept it updated. so thats why i just dont like it, but i do apologized if i have offended anyone with norton's.

Grandpa

I was waiting to hear from you and never did, I want to get together with you and find out what you like and some other stuff, so please PM me as soon as you see this, and we will get under way.

This virus has plagued this network for months and is easy to kill..Avast , Norton, Kaspersky..Ect. will all do the job...Morel to the story is "scan it first"..Bullit size means little..if you a good aim!
