That's just cruel.
Let them update the virus definitions, just don't announce it and bring up 6 windows letting me know while yelling at me saying "VIRUS DAYTA BAES HAS BEEN UPDAYUTED"
I just installed it, and saw that there was an option for disabling popups. You're an idiot for not even trying to find a way to disable them.

If you mean silent and gaming mode, it always disabled itsself. And the version I had had no option for disabling the popups/sound.

I've had this exact same problem.

Solution..
1: Realize that there are meanies on the internet and to check up everything I've advized here on google before you do anything.
2: Go to control panel - hardware and sound - device manager
3: uninstall everything under "universal serial bus controllers"
4: unplug everything from usb ports, mouse, printer, joystick etc..
5: restart
6: wait till windows is loaded before plugging things back in
7: remember to unplug everything when you shut down and only plug in once the computer has finished starting up

When I set it to 0 it wouldn't ever go away, it would pop up and stay there until I closed it, lol

If not, fork over a little cash and get Hitman Pro.

Or, you can get rid of all your virus worries by installing Linux on the side, and only using windows for gaming while you use Linux for everything else.

Macs are overpriced. The only experience on a Mac that is actually superior is...video editing. Buy a PC bro.

Here here! Bunch of wankers. I logged into my puter at 6.30 this a.m. with a couple of things to do before it hit peak hour at 7.00. Here it is after 9.00 now, thanks for nothing, thanks for wasting 2 and a half hours of my life, and the 2 hours of peak hour usage on my internet provider.

Thanks too for the talking turd you call your 'support' by phone. Tosser from India who constantly talked over the top of me, was extremely hard to understand, kept repeating himself when I had already done the steps he said, and refused to put me through to a manager. And this is for 'pro virus'! Hah! Bloody unprofessional, shoddy, shitty suckholes.

They sent me a 'no reply' email before and make it SO BLOODY HARD even to find out where to send an email to them.

And as you say, the constant updates, logging you in and bloody out, ARRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!

BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

macs still get viruses
there aren't as many viruses on mac, but don't think that you can be complacent due to that- internet security is still important.

in fact, i'm willing to bet that a higher percentage of mac users get the really destructive viruses due to complacency.

BE VIGILANT
if you use windows? get a decent antivirus and use your head
if you use a mac? get a decent antivirus and use your head
if you use linux? get a decent antivirus and use your head
use a more obscure OS? GET A DECENT ANTIVIRUS AND USE YOUR HEAD

I don't know how it was when you made this thread but their updates are pretty unnoticeable now, if it wasn't for the loud ding sound they make when they're done updating i wouldn't even notice they did anything.

I hear Avira gives non infected files as threats, but that was from Yahoo Answers. XD
