[DUG] Anti-virus software

[John C]

Hi Guys

Thanks very much for your feedback. I will take your advice and go for MS's
anti-virus software.

Cheers
John Sun

Also agree. The worst virus I ever experienced was Free AVG and all its
other equally bad colleagues

I just use Windows essentials.

Agreed. If you are not the sort to go randomly browsing, and are careful
with emails, Windows Defender or Security Essentials are fine and don't nag
too much.

I have only had a virus in the last ten years when looking for infections on
a sacrificial machine.

Some infections bypass all anti-virus programs, especially if someone runs a
program or script from an email, and if the user allows it. The best defense
is being careful and alert.
