hey guys , i use the latest ESET NOD32 as my antivirus and i'm quite satisfied with it , but an idea just popped into my head , instead of updating the database everytime i format my pc , and having to get new keys everytime they expire or get blocked ( heck it's lebanon i use cracks etcc ) , why not install DeepFreeze on my computer instead of NOD32 ? it's going to "freeze" the computer anyway in it's current state and everything newly installed will be completely deleted after the computer is restarted so anything entering the computer is going to be deleted and any damaged files will be restored ,not to mention it's "lighter" to use so no unexpected scans or updates while playing online games.

what are your thoughts ?
Software section?

My opinion, learn to avoid using antivirus softwares. I myself quit installing them long ago, and my OS never gets exploited. It's just stupid to open an unknown exe file with a size of ~40KB. Yeah you kinda learn that with experience.
yes software section , i guess i'm really used to check this section out i forgot to post elsewhere :P just by curiosity what OS are you using now ?
Why don't you try Microsoft Security Essentials?
It's free and good
Using Windows 7 64-bit Enterprise edition and Ubuntu 10.04.

Indeed. That's what every geek should do.

Opening infected exe files, installing all the available toolbars in your browser, adding weird emoticons to your msn and clicking every single ad entitled "horny ladies from lebanon waiting for you" will definitely bring you troubles.
Sorry, about first topic generally, i can translate to more understable, non-techie language:
I am drug addict, you know it is not a fun to live without hallucinations that crack is bringing for me. I start to lose my teeth, what do you think if i will use meat grinder?

My suggestion:
A)Use licensed software
B)Shift to opensource
www.nod325.com i've been using nod for like 3 years or something now i get my usernames and pass from there, sometimes i get a trial one but it works fine and i get latest updates

i know where to get usernames from , but i was asking if it's a better idea to use deepfreeze instead of antivirus software..these usernames are hacked so they are blocked really fast and you just have to keep replacing and replacing , unexpected updates and scans while doing something else can consume your bandwidth wich you don't want to be consumed , that's the point of my question
