Cobalt, Ice, and others, RE: Virus protection Bottom line, virus detection programs are complete bullshit. All they do is protect you from "known" viruses and the type of viruses that are "amatuer". The "brilliant" hackers create their own viruses, and they are "new". This means nothing can detect them. Think about the outbreaks you've read of over the last few years. You'd read something like Norton or Macafee could detect it with the latest download. But this is after the fact, after the virus is already out there. The only thing these programs detect is what amatuers are doing. These are the teenage hackers that download something off the Internet and try to spread it. It's "existing" if it's detected. If it's "new", *NONE* of these programs will find it. FWIW
