You have been dining out on that story for yonks as I recall....

The art of AV is not to get a virus in the first place, cleaning a virus is a different ball game.

Another holy war. The best AV is not clicking it in the first place. From a strictly BSOD perspective only, MSE does seem to cause less BSOD's but my only infection was when using MSE.

BTW I dont use AVG.

Now the dust settles....
Back on topic.

You are an MVP, which means you are banned from using thirdparty softwares. Rightfully no AVG for you.

LOL, yeah, I've seen that more times than I care.
Still, I respect whs greatly but I wish he wouldn't perpetuate such anecdotal instances.

I've been using AVG for years. It's still on my Win7 system (when I boot it) but I'm leaving Defender to do the the work in Win8 8102 ... for now.

Jan, I'm with ya on AVG. I love it!

Re using, let alone actually liking AVG.{ Shock, horror!!!}
Yes some of us leave the herd to do our own thing.....
Vive la différence!

Avast all the way !

~I hope Avast will become W8 compatible soon, until there... MSE ~
