The issue of virus
This came to my mind when I recently caught a virus called the moneypak virus. The virus threatened to permanently lock your computer unless you paid them 300usd. Some people just say get anti-virus software so you dont have to pay to get it fixed. but then think about it. Its money coming out of your pocket either way. weather you pay the ransomware, pay to get it fixed, or you pay a jacked up virus protection fee. What do you think we could do to stop the high funds lost due to virus in general.
on another note, who else caught the virus yesterday that claimed to be flashplayer.

Anti virus won't always save you, especially if it's something bad / annoying like AVG. Yeah but there is still free anti virus versions around which might be obviously better than not having an anti virus at all.
I have norton full and it saved my pc from trojans and shit, I think anti virus is the best way to go, because why pay the randsom to some assholes who are hacking your pc and making you give them 300 bucks then shell it out for anti virus software that will help and the moneys not going to some shit cause.

You can get viruses and not do anything wrong.
