I've been using this since the beta opened up...there's no chance of me using a different antivirus product.

 

Now that it's a public release...what's everyone else think?

Well you didn't come to the asylum and expect everyone to be serious, did you? 

Semi-irregular porn????   Didn't know there was such an animal....   I thought... er, heard it was either regular or irregular.  So, does this semi-irregular porn cost more because it's off the beaten track... or less because they have livestock and fewer actors to pay?

Cmon man I didn't want to tell you all but I run the asylum.  Seriously.   (Mind you, not this one.)

As for semi-irregular, I was referring to the drawn kind from Japan.  Nothing scary or sinister for sure.

Oh I'm so glad it didn't involve livestock... apparently it can leave an ungodly mess in your livingroom. :-"

Anyhoo... best I get back to my padded cell before the fullmoon. ;P

Other AV solutions have been driving me crazy with false positives and bogging down computers. Especially AVG's "link scanner" stuff, which frankly I had to turn off to make the Internet bearable. When it expires, I'm likely not to renew and just use this.

Yeah I stopped using AVG before my sub expired.  It installed too much junk and the firewall is easy to use, but too often breaks things.

 

Bleh.

My sister and other family members were using AVG and found performance was lagging due to junk and hits on system resources.  I put them on to Avast and they've been happy since... but I'm going to check out Microsoft Security Essential to see if we'd be better served by it.  The idea of spynet might bother some, but it don't deter us any....
