Re: OT- AVG Anti Virus

I dumped AVG Free last December after it allowed two of my computers
to be infected. I ended up having to do a wipe and clean install of
Windows XP on one of them.

I now use Microsoft Security Essentials and am mostly satisfied. I've
never been infected and it's very unobtrusive to use. Basically, set
it and forget it. There are times, just like AVG Free, when it will
hog CPU time, but not as often or as intensely as AVG Free.

if you get annoyed becuase any antivirus program doesn't work
you might as well give up now
you got no chance
