    Might have to take a look at Trend byt the sound of things.

    AVG will work with the 64 bit version of Win7, I downloaded and got the message that it's the wrong version (I had downloaded the wrong version, although I think it was identified wrong on their site). If you let the downloader do it for you all is OK.

    Ferret's suggestion is worth considering. I now have had 2 of our home laptops using Microsoft's Security Essentials for a few months, and no problems whatsoever.

    Why pay for anti-viral protection when MS are now offering a free service? So they should imho.

    I used AVG years ago for some time, and got shot as I just wasn't happy with the interface (then).

    Moved to Trend Micro for a number of years but found it corrupted a number of my drafting programs, so that was useless to me, albeit a very good program.

    But I am now running Avira and I'm VERY happy with it. Highly recommended, after using for just over 4 yrs now.

    As far as the Microsoft one, I despise using MS's "bloatware" and behind the scenes monitoring.

    Each to their own....

    Cheers,

    but I see he's moved on to Kaspersky,(without telling anyone)

    Considering MS is the most hacked systems there are, I would imagine the evil hackers will constantly find loop holes and hacks for the Microsoft security.
