It's asked me that loads of times too.

Mine was already off. :cookieMonster:

Heh.
I'm glad I have a Mac.

The only flaw with the system (which the software engineers over at MS are working on fixing) is that it asks people too many times so they either disable it entirely or don't pay attention to the messages so when something bad really does come along, it will fail to protect them.

I have 0 protection on every OS I use, and never get stuff. I scan once a month, 99% of the time its 100% clean, sometimes it has a couple of spyware things that are no big deal.

Same for me, only I got the .exe from a 'trusted' source :panda:
TBH, I was about to reformat anyway.

Well, some people download things online. Also, msot anti-virus and stuff actively protect
