    Leave your antivirus on and buy more RAM. It'll be cheaper in the long
    run.

    Phone sex has been outsourced to India due to heavy call volume. The problem
    with that is even with perfect hearing you can't understand a word.

    Thanks for the help, Chris! To (some of) the others, well...

    By the way... 10 years, no virus (with my antivirus programs disabled).

    That's like saying "10 years, never got hurt in a car accident (with
    my seatbelt never used."

    In both cases, consider yourself lucky. Sometimes you get away with
    not using protection, sometimes you don't. Not protecting yourself
    when it's free and easy to do is an extremely imprudent thing to do.

    But, in both cases, it's your choice. Good luck.
