    Anonymous? You mean, like Anon? The so called "hackers on steroids" thing?

    For those who don't know, I'll shed some light on the situation. I don't mean this in any way to offend the OP (or any other poster); I just want to take away some of the fear and give some understanding.

    There exists an image board called 4chan (I'm sure most of you at least know of its existence). People can post in 4chan even without signing up as a member; the default username for guests is "Anonymous" and guests are in fact encouraged to use this name so that they don't stand out (the type of place 4chan is, you don't want people to recognize you). Because so many people opt to use the Anonymous moniker (easily 99.99%, and I'm not exaggerating), it quickly became internet slang for "everyone". Before long, Anonymous as a name adopted an almost spiritual meaning: an individual person may be good, but people as a group in general (especially when given the "mask of anonymity" to hide behind) are evil. This led to large numbers of people using the name to hide behind while they did more or less anything they wanted. Committing any acts that were looked down upon (mostly illegal) under that name soon became extremely popular, and so any crime that was committed in the name of Anonymous is often credited to this "group". In reality, Anonymous isn't actually a group in the conventional sense; there's no leaders, there's no rules, and there's no structure. Like I said before, Anonymous simply means (faceless) everyone; you are Anonymous, I am Anonymous, the entire world is Anonymous. You could liken it to walking through the grocery and seeing the random people pass you by; any one of them could be a police officer or priest, or even a serial killer or rapist, and nobody would know just by looking at them. That's what Anonymous means: the world is populated by faceless individuals, and any one of them capable of anything.

    As far as there being a group of hackers, this isn't true, at least not to the extent that most people think it is. For instance, Anonymous is often credited to hacking a handful of Australian government sites in protest to the pornography censorship laws in place, which would be true if "hacking" meant flooding the site with Caturday pictures and shock images in order to clog up the servers. Yes, there are Anonymous who are also hackers, but they're not out to get anyone.

    This video pretty much sums it up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0WCLKzDFpI. There are other sources that I won't post here because of their offensiveness. In short, I wouldn't be so scared of Anonymous. Chances are they don't care about us. They're not really out to get anybody, so long as they aren't crossed in regards to a subject important to them (ie, the Australian censorship laws). And besides, most of the people here are more adept at hacking than most of Anonymous. We'll be fine. ^-^

    However, all of that notwithstanding, it is always smart to be on the safe side regardless. AVG is the best that I've come across, as it brings anything that can even maybe be a virus to your attention, as well as being constantly updated. For added measure, Zone Alarm tells you when a program is trying to access your sensitive files or even the internet, and won't let it do so until you've given manual permission. I'm not sure if Zone Alarm has a free version, but AVG definitely does. I hope I've helped ease some of the stress on this issue, and I hope I haven't upset anybody in my correction.

    You broke the first rule of 4Chan dammit:P

    But I will say pretty much what I said on the same post back on xboxdev:
    Anon is no threat towards users, its just the media trying to highlight this group since they came out in the open and did what they did to Mastercard's and Visa's websites

    Anon's are not something you should be paranoid about they are not a real threat (there is a small handful of people who would know but that is a small handful)

    In my opinion it is. I used to use AVG mainly before having used Avast.

    AVG 7.5 was great, then came 8.5 where it became somewhat of a resource hog, and 9.x is pretty much really bad compared to the older versions.
    This is just my personal preference though. Everyone has a software they like more than the other. You decide on your own which one you like the most.

    Avast has never let me down yet so far.
