I used to use AVG Free, which also tends to do well in the

I think we paid for AVG at work but version 8 became a bit too
bloated so we switched to Comodo. It seems to work alright but the
latest version is starting to spam me by way of the "Comodo Message
Center" and I haven't worked out how to turn it off.
IMHO, anything that comes preinstalled on a new PC should be
uninstalled the day you get it. You are meant to be the customer,
not the product.
I agree with you to a certain extent, although occasionally - rarely -
they include something useful ... even if I can't think of a specific
example at the moment.
I do wait until the warranty expires before purging crap-ware from the
system so they can't blame me if anything goes wrong with it.
