    I tossed that POS software when I first joined this forum.

    I can't even remember who recommended it to me (in this forum). But I've become a HUGE fan of ESET.

    We currently have it on 5 PC's with ZERO issues since day one.

    Never heard of ESET
    I can tell you, it was not me. :biggrin_25523: I ditched their software over ten years ago after my system got infected.

    If you haven't tried it.... do so. 30 days free. It finds stuff that most AV programs simply skip over. And I've tried a lot of them.

    I spend a lot of time in places I shouldn't, warez etc. The wife used to get viruses, trojans, redirects...all the time. I hate Facebook !!!

    Both my sisters have a habit of clicking ANY link they get in an e-mail. So I installed it on theirs too. No more phone calls :)

    Not so much as a hic-up since we switched. I used to spend a couple of days cleaning our PC's when I came in.

    Now I just check the logs...and delete.

    Yep, I've been using Eset for a number of years. Not bloated like Symantec or that other...

    How the heck would you get the virus off the droid? There's no antivirus for them yet, is there?

    I've seen a couple of AV programs for smartphones. Not sure how well they work though.
