Wow, not a lot of options... We're missing 80% of the rest of commercial anti-viruses.
Also i would add a "none" option to the post as well.
Since im using norton ghost 12 i'm not worried about viruses anymore.
"As an IT tech & consultant", I can see where you would say that and I will agree with you. However personally I will have to disagree with you because I know what browsing habits will land a virus. I know you won't believe me when I say this but, I could go several years without catching a virus. As a consultant (especially from an IT tech point of view) you could never suggest running without an AV, when you never know what habits the consultee may have.Sorry but, as an IT tech & consultant I must disagree. 1. that is far from the only reason MSE is good or better. & 2 it does not matter how much a computer is used on the Net.. if connected for any time AT ALL none of that time should EVER be w/out protection, absolutely NEVER.

But it's not 100% correct.It doesn't take an IT Pro to agree or know that what I've said is 100% correct
And thats where I don't believe you. Not that I don't believe it's possible, just very very very unlikely to happen. That would more than likely mean, you were being specifically targeted, otherwise firewalls would be useless.all that is necessary is for a machine to be connected. That doesn't say used on the Net, it says connected to the Net.

Nor does is matter what internet use it gets, what sites are visited or anything. If connected MUST be protected, simple as that, doesn't matter about surfing or downloading, no if ands of buts. Connect, protect, that's, that's all. Should go immediately is connected & never go off.
End of story. No variation, no exceptions. Period.

Nah mate, I don't need the AV running for me, never ever caught a virus before
