We will see, won't we. You stay with no virus and file protection and jump
all over the Net. We will see just how soon you get infected with a trojan
or other network virus. You're probably a dedicated spamming computer
already. Some hacker in Russia probably already owns your system.

Its not brainwashing you see, dude. Its experience. No card, no matter how
"effective" its manufacturers call it, can keep viruses or trojans off your
HD if you refuse to protect yourself. And its not just you that would be
protected. Its also the countless other machines which will be infected
because your machine is being used as an open relay for some spammer, or
used by some hacker to break into the Defense Department computers, so he
can steal Government secrets anonymously.

Unless your much-vaunted (by you) card has circuitry which physically checks
all downloads, all uploads, all file launches, all file copies, all file
moves for viruses and trojans, its useless, and will NEVER keep a virus out
of your system. And unless you run a properly-configured firewall, trojans
and other network viruses can, and will turn your system into someone else's
computer, even without your knowledge. Especially without your knowledge,
cause you really are a seriously ignorant user. You need to smarten up, and
take security a little more seriously.

There is no "magic pill" in Medicine, and there is no "magic pill" when it
comes to the security of your computer.
