Anti-Virus: Purchase or Free?

[GM4spd]

Wow ... that is pretty ignorant advice. If you have Windows 7 or 8, MS's own Security Essentials is probably THE best anti-malware available for the OS. I'd like to see proof where third-party AV software alone is better than MS SE. MS SE will stop most of all direct attacks against the MS OS -- that's what it was made to do, duh. Besides, it's already there with your OS and it's essentially free. Use it, just add another anti-malware software.

I agree with this ,I started by paying for the usual suspects for protection
but after I put on ME I've used it ever since and really have not had any
problems. If you have a Microsoft product it makes a lot of sense. I have
turned a few other family members onto it and they have had no issues.
Because it's FREE,it should really appeal to the Calguns crowd,especially
those with entitlement issues. Pete
