re: #33 talon_262

See my reply to Charles above…with Microsoft Security Essentials being free, there is absolutely little reason to be paying for AV software nowadays. I used to run NOD32, which was and is the best pay-to-play AV out there for Windows and I dropped it when MSE came out of beta and never looked back.

It’s that good…get it here.

Who do you call if your machine gets infected anyway? It can happen. Mcafee’s people saved me from a format and re-install. Now I use their corporate not retail version-Virusscan enterprise 8.1 with the latest patch. I can lock up the registry so tight I have to deactivate that control to install new software. Can the microsoft product do that?
