My laptop is dead.
« on: April 25, 2009, 04:25:32 am »
Because some ants decided to make a hive there.
WTF??

Anyway, Because of it, I am now searching for the Kaspersky AV disk, however, it seems that I wouldn't find it again.

So, now, what is the best freeware combination of AV, Firewall, and various things to fill the hole from the absence of Kaspersky?

I'd recommend Avast! and Spybot S&D.

PC Decrapifier can't harm.

I suggest getting some spiders or praying mantises.

I suggest some sort of Moat (perhaps magma) around your laptop.

It felt a bit like a movie in which two stoners try to steal a military helicopter

Actually, I was considering this.
Just need something to support the table (for laptop) THAT do not let the ants climb.

There are already many spiders here, but they are busy in a constant war with, eh.

house lizards? (?)

Oh well, I've bump this, anyway.
I'm trying to dual-boot my desktop into linux (preferably Ubuntu),
will antivirus be needed?
