Re: [Elecraft] Spectrogram download site and Virus issues
I suggest using MS Security Essentials, or in Win 8, Windows Defender which is built in. All the other stuff is bloat ware and will not stop a desktop infection when clicking on free stuff or fixes for you PC.

Re: [Elecraft] Spectrogram download site and Virus issues
A few days ago I stopped using both the Microsoft products on several machines here after Microsoft unexpectedly baselined both Defender and Essentials and gave several interviews disclosing they did not match the performance of packages by other vendors. You might want to take a look at what the Microsoft spokesman said. It was certainly a shock to me, and I received an even greater shock when I looked at recent test results. Even the free AVG and Avast products ran rings around Essentials and Defender. I am going to paste in a link, but if it does not work you can search on Microsoft Admits That Security Essentials Is Just a Basic Anti-Virus Product which brings up the Softpedia report on the Microsoft statement.
