My Comp

Geez... doesn't anyone else get pissed about these darn anti virus companies making stupid viruses that advertise their product. I just got the mother load of them from one site while searching for some info, I mean WTF? Can't I guy do anything on the net these days without paying someone or having to format his comp after every visit to the WWW? I'm on my laptop now while I back up files, stupid kindergardrens and their lame viruses can't stop me from doing that safely...
