I am an administrator and moderator on several Internet security forums and as such I have to test multiple antivirus products,paid and free. Here is one that has just gone free. It can be trusted, it supplies very good security with a small resource footprint.

It's an American industrial standard, and it's call "Planned Obsolescence"....
I believe Windows was planned and written to be vulnerable to damage and destruction so that a multi million dollar market for protective software could be bread to fleece the personal computer market.
This is why Apple computers are more expensive, and far more resistant to computer virus, hacking, and the other nasties thrown at it.....
it's the standard (default) installation of the operating system that makes it vulnerable. every windows os that has been produced to date can be easily configured to completely eliminate all threats from viruses, worms and trojans, making it totally invulnerable to all the threats listed above and more.
I hear ya on dissing MS, but I think it's a gun and person-squeezing-the-trigger kind of thing.
Yes MS is vulnerable, but the enemy is the hackers and/or/all electronic criminals and miscreants
Wouldn't the world be a better place if everyone just behaved themselves and swore off plaid bermuda shorts, Colt 45 malt liquor, greed and malice...well shucks....I reckon we might could get by

pc users are the problem. you can either disable the software that enables viruses, worms and trojans to execute their payloads and damage or take over your machine or use bloated anti virus programs that slow down the machine scanning every single packet coming in according to a set of definitions which is growing by the day and eat up user, system and graphic resources while you wait for the guy with the gun. a windows machine with this software enabled or installed has no business being connected to the internet. on the other hand, a windows machine in which this software has been disabled or uninstalled has no need whatsoever for anti virus software.

the same software that causes the windows os vulnerability to viruses, worms and trojans also exists on the apple mac platform. IE can be safely removed from windows but that doesn't eliminate the vulnerability. apple mac only seems to have been spared because the bulk of viruses, worms and trojans are written for the predominant operating system, that would be windows.
Lets see your last post started with
and my last statement has no context on the current thread which is about anti virus programs?
You're too straight laced to bother with anything then. wtf? Pc's were meant to be worked on be it as labor or maintenance. ding ding.
