Search Engine Shenanigans

Turn on your anti-virus software everyone. Even when you're searching the web with harmless keywords, you may still be attacked! There is no safe haven from the “dark side” of the internet.

You mean there are people that have AV software and turn it OFF to surf the net? Thats plain stupid.

BTW, there are some free sources of AV still out there. One of them is even recomended by Microsoft.(and it works pretty good)
