I use MS Security Essentials and has worked fine, but the best part, no slow downs and no lagging, it is as if the program is not there. Plus it's FREE.

I downloaded and installed it, not a glitch or hiccup! It must be on your end, probably your AV program as others have already suggested!

Avira is a good av plus it is free. One downside to it is the number of false positives specially if you have the heuristics turned on.

Have been running with MS Security Essentials since I upgraded to Windows 7 x64 and I have to say that it is ideal for anyone with good security discipline. It is very lightweight on system resources, and I never notice it's there except for a 1-2 second pause when transferring a large file to/from USB.



Still, security software is only as good as the user. It is no substitute for good security discipline and understanding of threats.

In a perfect world, we'd be running Linux. Computers would just work, and you wouldn't need an anti-virus.

With Linux all your software is free, legally. The KDE interface is more powerful, sexier, and yet more intuitive. I have my sixty year old mother using it just fine. Oh, and it is faster.

If iTunes worked in Linux, and more of my Windows games worked in Linux (some do via Wine) I'd leave Windows completely.

...Oh dear.

Um, Linux is only 'Hacker & Virus proof" because hackers & virus creators can't be bothered with such a small time OS that barely run's 15% of the PC market. If the world was to use Linux, it would suffer from viruses as much as Windows does, as all the people making viruses would direct efforts towards Linux and it's weak points.

Linux's desktop share is less than one tenth of that, it hovers around 1-1.2%.

Same here. Maybe I'll have to change my AV...this happens way to often with Avira.

Double post is double.
