Unknown to most but the insane and the mystics, Tarran is actually Earth itself, as Earth is sentient like that planet in Avatar. Originally Earth used names such as Terra on the internet, but to protect it's identity it changed letters, now becoming the Tarran you know today.
Quote from: Ze Spy
Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

So we got monsters above, monsters below, dwarves in the middle and a party in the dining hall. Sounds good to me.

If all else fails, remember one thing:  kittens are delicious, nutritious little goblin-baiters, cavern explorers, and ambush-finders.

Viruses can only be activated if you run the suspicious program in the first place.
Wanna bet? Clearly you've never heard of BART or MPack or Squirtle or AttackAPI. Clearly you also haven't heard of MITM attacks. Or XSS. Or how very, very dangerous all of the above can be.

Hint: this is another topic you don't know anything about. Why do you persist on broadcasting your cluelessness? Is doing a little bit of research just that impossible for you?

That falls under what I said. Running a program. You're a fool if you have Javascript and objects automatically on in a web browser.

Use something modern like NoScript and only enable it on sites you trust.

Personally I don't use any form of Heuristic Virus protection. However, NOD32 is a program I recommend. Of course, you want to get programs like Spybot: S&D (Free) to round out your protection.

Right now I have Spybot, CCleaner, and Clamwin installed. Clamwin's pretty decent, though i don't trust it to actually get RID of anything, though I can usually do that manually. If i'm very suspicious of a file, i'll just upload it to one of many services online that use multiple scanners.

With a bit of know-how, traditional virus protection is something you don't need.

I know it's unrealistic, but I can't help but imagine little bearded babies for dwarves. In my mind, they come out of the womb fully bearded. That's how the mother carries them around, too, she just drags them around by the beard or ties it to her belt. When the father's on duty, he just ties their beards together and the baby just kind of hangs there, swinging to and fro with Urist McDaddy's movements.
