Jimmy, it's a forum mate, where people have different ideas, solutions. You are free to choose the ones you want to use.
The ones you don't want to use...then don't use 'em.
yes it is gaz, but when it comes to something such as pc security and possible malware and viruses, too many voices can cause issues. People can quite easily think they are doing the right hting by having multiple malware and virus programs running when in fact they are not.
I am by no means saying that anyones advice was wrong, however the complete collection of advice together can cause problems. You should see some of the things i've seen people advised to do with their PC's and the damage its caused. All becuase someone thought they were an "expert" after being able to remove one piece of malware in the past. ITs a mindfield and you still need to be damn careful about what you do and what you touch. One voice of reason is much better in this case than many voices advising!
