| 1318640 | 2012-12-17 21:20:00 | While I'd mostly agree with you, 1101, the current data suggests that 80% of malware infections come from legitimate sites - whether via compromised advertising or from very small sites lacking the skills and expertise to close exploits (places such as your local tennis club website, for example.) | Zara Baxter (16260) | ||
| 1318641 | 2012-12-17 23:13:00 | Yeah I'm with Zara and wainuitech. The theory is you should be OK. The reality is usually far from that. I'm the same, NOD32 has caught downloads of even legitimate things before, while surfing in Chrome. It happens. I'd rather pay $100 a year whatever and have my wife and I covered than take the risk. It's not exactly expensive.. On top of that, NOD32 picks up a lot more in my experience than MSSE, even things that it hasn't yet downloaded a signature for. I had MSSE on my fathers machine, it was running horribly. Replaced it with NOD32, instantly picks up just over a dozen things, and ran faster as soon as MSSE was gone (Let alone after removing the actual *issues*). |

That speaks volumes. Seen AVG fail many times, not only with infections, but it also slows PC's down quite a bit. | wainuitech (129) | ||
