color:#0D0D0D'>Yeah, good point Ross. After a hardware fix of my pc at my local
pc store recently they recommended using this Microsoft Security Essentials and
removed McAfee, and all seemed to work fine. However most new pc come with a
preinstalled McAfee or Norton. I guess this is not so much that Microsoft
Security Essentials is bad, but more a deal between the pc
supplier/manufacturer and the antivirus company.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>I use avira-free at the moment. Not too unhappy with it,
but I don't think<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>it ever found something that I wasn't actually already
aware of being dodgy.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>The few instances you wanted to have something checked i
could have probably<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>gotten away with just using the online version of<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>https://www.virustotal.com/ ... and running it in
www.sandboxie.com <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>If you are reasonable proficient/smart with computers
then there is not much<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>need for a antivirus software running all the time in the
background to slow<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>things down. But I think I will still stick to my setup I
have right now,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>just in case something slips through - after all I do
release my software to<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>over a thousand companies/government organizations
worldwide and wouldn't<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>want to deal with the blowback/reputation loss if my
software ever would<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>contain a virus.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoPlainText>>> So now I stick to the AV wetware between my
ears. It's completely <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>>> free<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>it has worked perfectly for me for the past 5 years
(continuous use) and<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>longer, cumulatively, over the past 20+. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>I agree. Every program I have tried has slowed my machine
down dramatically.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoPlainText>Ended up uninstalling them all and now run free and wild.
