Computer has died, no more RA2 for a while.

I would use Linux if RA2 worked on it

I cant help but notice it was a 1+ month bump :P

with Stag hosting a new tournament I would say his troubles are fixed unless I am mistaken

[Stagfish]

Yeah, I whiped my computer.

The Antivirus I now use is windows security essentials and malware bytes.

And that's why you want to have good antivirus software running at all times.

And/or use Linux.

Antivirus is for wimps. 

On a more serious note, I've been online three and a half years, at least two of which without antivirus, and I've never gotten a virus.  It's more experience/common sense than it is some stupid program floating around in the background using up your ram.

You are right, common sense matters a lot, but there's nothing wrong with installing MSE and letting it run in the background - it's really light and I barely notice it's there.
