You know at one point I used like 13 or 14 different AV's to assist in cleaning systems - no BS - they all missed and caught stuff the others didn't. I read a periodical sometime ago. It went on about malware and how one malware program could have 200 variants in a day and 200,000 of those with all the math - basically sounded totally exhausted and said no one can keep up. You just have to train these users the best you can - hope they listen and if they don't, hope they can afford to pay you for your time and effort. I mean hey, if folks want to use Free AV - GO FOR IT. I think everyone on this list that contributes is smart enough that we don't even need AV anyway. However, can't tell me FREE is better then paid because thats total bullshit. Here's why - FREE don't pay the frackin bills people. You can't research viruses for free - it costs money. Money makes the world go round - deal with it - accept it. We ain't flying around with Picard and Wesley the Wonder Boy here. Sorry, everything costs something. Also, I won't put my name behind free AV because of the above. Every time I read AV comparisons I never see these free AV's at the top. That's just how it is. I don't want to hear the bias argument either because it's more then one review over many years now, and what's not biased anymore anyway. Wow put a couple bloody marys in me and slap me with a TLDR. Time to slay some pixilated dragons and stuff. Have a good weekend. -- Regards, joeuser - Still looking for the 'any' key...
