Well I was just wondering what anti virus(if any) people use.
On my windows partition I am now using Bit Defender 10 because,avg has just gotten to bloated and I am not paying for anti virus lol.

I somehow put avg as my vote so if a mod can change my vote to bitdefender,I would be happy.

I find it funny how you people need to pay for a program to cover up for the flaws of your operating system.

AVG.
Also, this shouldn't be a checkbox poll. It's generally a bad idea to run multiple antivirus programs. ;o

Dose it remove the infected file? I just found a buggy and waited for it to remove it/"Heal it" I think it just removed it from my har drive. Its the free edition that came with the computer. I don't know if there is some special features that only people who have bought the program could use.

I scare viruses away. If they try to enter my PC I do nasty things to them like hex editing, so they usually run away.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Symmetry -- :wob:

[2026-6-21. : 4:56 am]

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

[2026-6-21. : 4:26 am]

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
