[citation][nom]Zebrass[/nom]Grammar police aside, I can see why: Microsoft has been unable to provide Microsoft Security Essentials on the installation media, and not everyone goes and gets AVG or another anti virus software, so that means the thousands of people who buy crap Dell and HP and other comps with Norton on them after the trial is up, they don't use anything. Combined with the fact they believe everything they read in emails....So in a way, it is Symantec's, McAfee's, AVG's, and Kapersky's fault, and especially the stupid EU's fault, that Microsoft is unable to provide a preinstalled antimalware product that would prevent 99% of these infections.Maybe that's what this article is trying to do.[/citation]
elaborate.
personaly we have 3 computers up and running here.
2 are quad core over kill machines, one is 3 core laptop.
personally if i dont see a noticeable performance drop, i don't care whats on the computer. if you want to talk about pc quality, my old p2 333mhz, just 1 thing wrong on it and it would crawl to a hault. one time on this quad core, i have found 300+ infections and still had no preformance hit.
also, what would they call mallware? a real virus? or a cookie that look funny?
i havent had a real virus in years.
