How often do you guys scan your computer for viruses and update softwere?I don't really scan that much... i download updates every day, if there are updates.

No scanning, Auto updates for Anti Virus, but on windows, I am selective, dont want to download all rubbish that isnt needed.

Typically once or twice a day .... ghost once a day and clean format once a week .... it's excessive but its routine now

So praetor, you have virus softwer? what's the point of having virus softwere when you format your pc every week? i know there is a chance of getting one, but it's pretty slim...

Formats dont get rid of viruses. I format because i have specific software configurations i want depending on what's going on for the upcoming week. 'sides I've got a couple games which arent DirectX9.0b (havnt tested DX9) friendly (i.e., mass artifacing) and i play them from time to time.
