<div dir="ltr">My anti-virus software is built in. To the user. ;)<br><br>In 20+ years of PC use I have had exactly 1 virus/trojan to deal with and that was the direct result of desperately clicking on a link that I knew to be dodgy in hopes of tracking down a bit of ancient software (a driver for an aged HP scanner). The McAfee AV installed at the time didn't help one jot.<br><br>Which isn't to say that I've never used AV software myself, but I generally avoid the big name packages like the proverbial... Norton, McAfee etc, all as bad as each other ime and none of them are 100% effective. The worst case of an infected system I had to deal with - someone elses's - had enterprise ESET installed. We ended up wiping that system and starting over. <br><br>Personally, Avast was the one I stuck with for the longest period, but it started throwing what I strongly suspected (and in some cases knew for a fact) were false alarms - I suspect that they are happy for you to use their free version only for so long..<br><br>So now I stick to the AV wetware between my ears. It's completely free and it has worked perfectly for me for the past 5 years (continuous use) and longer, cumulatively, over the past 20+. :)</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 10 September 2014 17:29, John C <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jc@sunshinesoftware.co.nz" target="_blank">jc@sunshinesoftware.co.nz</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">
