Consumer Reports did a study (maybe one year ago) by subjecting anti-virus softwares to a large directory of mal-ware. Symantec that was once touted as a best was then something like 1/3rd from the bottom in that Consumer Reports study. Finding an answer backed by valid reasoning is difficult. Now, if 30% of machines are contaminated by Conflcker, well, where are the many Dwellers who reported their anti-virus software found and removed it? |

we have avast at home (can't beat the price,) and every once in a while it stops a download of something I click on because it's detected something bad about it. Our computer runs just fine. I do windows updates every month too.
