1407671 2015-09-02 01:08:00 kind of amazed that we still have these pi##ing competitions of how much better one AV is another

to be on this forum you'd think you have some degree of intelligence

run as a local user not as an administrator
don't run dodgy software from untrusted websites
run The Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit support.microsoft.com

there is almost all of your attack vectors gone

MS have a long history of releasing, then abandoning their AV products (more or less) . Any company can release AV Software, its another story to keep
developing it & spend time & money to keep it relevant. ie actually usefull.

Even more disappointing, is MS allowing Major PC brands to sell Windows PC's with the better than nothing MS AV disabled and a 30 day TRIAL of Norton
or McAffe preloaded instead . So what happens (often, its quite common) , is that the home user will then have NO WORKING AV after 30 days.

Shows MS's lack of commitment internet safety for allowing this, and HP etc total disregard for their customers security.
