Norton is useless.

Download microsoft security essentials. It's free.
Download malwarebytes. It's free.
Download mcafee site advisor for firefox. It's free.
Download spybot search and destroy. It's free.

They'll all use about 1/10 of the resources that norton does, and most likely work better. Also, they're free.

Ok, nukes. Even if it is a difficult process, it still seems like the intelligence is out there, even when their way of life suggests otherwise.

However, the suggestion that messing up will create an explosion does make a good point. We did actual tests before we had anything functioning. I'd wager that in this day and age it's a bit harder to hide a nuclear explosion.

Still, uranium is pretty common. Getting enough to be useful is harder I'm sure. But some regime must have found a pretty good chunk without anyone noticing.

But I'm still intrigued by the fact that the necessary elements to create such a massive explosion are as rare and difficult to turn into a bomb as they are. It seems like there'd be a much easier way to create a country eliminating bomb, and that someone would have figured it out by now.

Just been using Microsoft Security Essentials myself for over a year now on Win7, haven't had any issues at all.

The article can be summed up as "DIGITAL, IT SHOULD HAPPEN".

I defy that article.

Don't add to my problems by pretending my past views are still held in the present. I do not have any patience for that. Feel free to ask me what I think now.
