Indeed. Like with sex, all you need is some abstinence. Stay away from the pornography sites, warez sites and the like, and it will be pretty difficult for you to pick-up a system crushing virus.

Tell that to the people that were picking up Antivirus 2009/2010 from friggin Facebook.

I think it is as good a product as other a/v software; but, don't come down on the him/her, because of their opinion on a poll. That is why that choice is there. I voted 4 stars, 'cause, IMO, I don't think it is the best and has room for improvement.

Hat complained that someone voted 1 star without leaving a comment, that was what I was referring to. Of course everyones entitled to an opinion, but they should state it instead of just voting!

I agree that is how 2 of my computers got the Antivirus 2010 was from facebook. With kids and some adults now days it seems they live off facebook. The virus was gotten by just browsing different friends facebook pages nothing was downloaded, but I'm sure something on those web pages was clicked on to get the computer infected.
MSE has saved my tail several times already.....:>)

my rating: 4 - very good
- uses only a small amount of resourses
- don't bug me with annoying popup messages
- is freeware

what more can you for 0USD/eur?

Ive been using MSE for a while now and Im very impressed. Its reliable, has low resources usage and is FREE.............what more could you ask for? :rockout:

With any luck, this will put Norton out of business
