| 856122 | 2010-02-07 19:54:00 | Is'nt this the windows security alert complaining about your windows firewall, auto update and antivirus choices? You can turn them off in control panel/security centre. | jinja_thom (4306) | ||
| 856123 | 2010-02-07 20:53:00 | The PressF1 community, as a whole, recommends Microsoft Security Essential as an alternative to all other free antivirus software available. I can't believe the Press F1 Community ! How they can recommend a Microsoft utility just amazes me. After years and years of putting out bloated crap, and selling the software with the holes in them - why would you want to use their software ? |

We do because after some testing by a few of the users on here they have found that it picks up viruses/malware that the other free ones didn't. All software will have holes in it, it's just that Microsoft have the biggest user base that their products are the ones that get found out :D |

| 856125 | 2010-02-07 21:08:00 | If you want to use something else go ahead. But from what I've read AVG has got to be one of the worst programs out there. Along with Mcafee, and Symantec. All theyre doing is putting a pretty window on the screen (and nothing else). And Avast 5, according to their forums, is just as bad / buggy. People have gone back to 4.8. And yup people DON'T just go by who MAKES the program. They also go by what it can and cant do (testing what it can remove, compared to other programs) |

| 856126 | 2010-02-07 21:43:00 | I followed up the lead suggested by Snoopy, and turned off the alerts in the Security Centre control panel because those popups annoy me too. Coincidentally, I ran a Malwarebytes scan. It came up with a threat - that I had Disabled Security Centre!!! It gave me a bit of a turn until I realised what it referred to... Ah well, it shows that Malwarebytes is onto it! |

| 856127 | 2010-02-07 22:36:00 | "Your computer may be at risk!!!" How on earth can I stop these stupid pop-up balloons? . XP: Start, Control Panel, Security Center. Bottom left side. "Change the way Security Center alerts me". Similar with Vista/Win7. |
