[citation][nom]beayn[/nom]watcha: What claims? You made this one among many others:"Any proper engineer would know that nobody can ever be 100% sure their PC doesn't have viruses, as I said, even the top level engineers who work for anti-virus companies wouldn't make such a claim."Are you an engineer? Industry expert? Anti-virus expert? If not, provide full evidence of Antivirus experts claiming you can never be 100% sure. .[/citation]
Lets be honest, computer engineers are low level monkeys. I've employed several and they tend to be the reclusive loners who couldn't make it as a more successful programmer or entrepreneur. Hence the qualification, 'proper' engineer, or anti-virus expert. In dealing with the infrastructure at a company I worked with (a large car manufacturer) we dealt with numerous anti-virus programs when establishing our corporate policy and all of them were very clear that no anti-virus will ever be 100% secure. We went with Kaspersky, in the end, for your information. And you should know, by definition, that is isn't possible to 'prove' that something is 'never' said - it can only be disproved. You find a well regarded expert who claims that 100% security on a normal pc is possible and I'll concede that minor, and non critical point in my multi-pronged argument. And it still wont address the fact that you are making a claim that several PC's have no viruses with no evidence whatsoever. Something which you would have to do with or without the opinion of a PC expert.
[citation][nom]beayn[/nom]I will also want to see a full list of credentials for said engineer. He must have worked at an antivirus company for at least 20 years (to have the most experience), and speak for the entire company. It can't be his personal opinion, or else it doesn't count because it's just 1 person.You must provide this evidence anyway or else I will argue that you haven't provided ANY evidence at all and thus everything you say is null and void![/citation]
My point is that none of them would claim it. So how can I provide you the details of the expert who said it? LOL. Note, the key phrase in my original sentence...
'even the top level engineers who work for anti-virus companies wouldn't make such a claim'
.. key word 'wouldn't' otherwise known as 'WOULD NOT'.

After you're done finding said evidence (which probably doesn't exist) I won't accept it. I will deny your article has any relevance or credibility. Especially since you said "nobody can be 100% sure" which means everybody and an article showing just 1 engineer isn't everybody.You're so predictable.[/citation]
If it was possible for me to prove my point with evidence, I would. Since it is not possible to prove the ABSENCE of something, you can clearly infer that it's my opinion. Do you disagree? Do you think that reputable software engineers believe it is possible to prove that a PC is 100% virus free? As I've already explained to you, all you have to do to disprove my statement is find 1 example of a high level engineer - matching all of the criteria you so lovingly requested I do. And then, you should take a step back, and ask yourself, on a scale of 1 to 10, how much will you have proven by showing that someone else believes that it's possible to be 100% secure, and that is't possible to prove that you are?
1 - You still wont have proven that the claim you made is true (that the 5 pc's you own are virus free)
2 - You still haven't shown that the video in question is an advert.
3 - You still haven't proven that the video in question is factually incorrect (all you've proven is that YOU interpret it that way)
The three pronged approach which you have failed to deliver any response to, still.
