i don't like paying for protection, but i have been forced to use norton and Ca's antivirus for years, was going to switch to NOD32, until i heard about MS finally putting something out to deal with their software gaps. i mean if this was a car or a house, and it starts leaking in the rain despite my windows and rooftop, that's very bad and in those situations with cars and houses, the builder and manufacturers get sued out the wazzoo for 2- 1000 times the cost they sold it for. software vendors should never have been sheilded from being sued for selling bad/buggy software.
i understand the problems with securing every program, but still if software is used in everything from controlling how your car stops to generating power with nuclear fission...do you really want to be put in harms way with out atleast some semblance of protection?
btw been using ms security esentials for the last 6 months, previous to 2010 i was using avg for a year. i must say security essentials is less taxing and a tad quicker, but there's less action controls, but a far superior detection compared to avg, it even goes after my no-cd/dvd patches and online activation hacks i have had since 123 dvd x-copy went the way of the dodo bird. found a way to put it on a friends tweaked media center edition machine and it goes after all the tweaks the guy did, which sucks, cuz he has a legal key right on the machine for it, he just doesn't want all the pre programmed general load junk with the normal disc install and have to edit or disable stuff after every hard disc wipe he does on a 6 month basis.
i like the fact microsoft is finally trying to correct their gigantic mistake tho i give them props for good effort finally after all these years of waiting!
