Is this a question? BTW, despite of having an anvirus software I recommend
to have also a tool like this: https://psi.secunia.com/

The Anti-virus program widely used in India is QuickHeal which has been
giving good service to users. QuickHeal on the user's system is updated
online every time a registered user is connected to the Internet, the
necessary updates for any new viruses or other malware which come under
their vigilance watch are added and an online scanning service is
provided, if desired. Besides, users like me automatically update all the
security updates signalled by Microsoft, as and when their availability
messages pop up on my system.
In view of this, the false alarm signals popped up by Windows XP are
totally unwarranted. Unfortunately, Microsoft appears to recognize only
their own compatriot Anti-Virus programs and gives false alarms to users
of QuickHeal saying "your computer may be under threat from viruses and
opens up the Security Center and asks the user to connect to Microsoft's
base.
It would be less insulting to users of Microsoft's Operating Systems, if
Microsoft asks the users which Anti-Virus software they are using when the
Operating System is installed and work with the supplier to make sure that
the Anti-Virus software takes care of all Microsoft concerns. With that
simple step, we would not face the insulting messages popped up by Windows
XP on our computers.
