[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 817109"] I agree wholeheartedly. This result on performance mimics my overall experience using WD. i don't install and uninstall programs on a daily basis and I think it would be safe to assume that the vast majority of people (including techies) don't do this on a daily basis either. To be brutally honest, I've never really timed how long it takes to install a program using WD, it still seems to happen fast enough for me anyways. What I mean is, if I took the time to time it and compare it to another product and if I find that it take 10 more seconds (for example) than the other product, is 10 seconds more really that bad? It be very honest, it's getting harder and harder to justify 3rd party AV/suites anymore. Not saying WD meets everyone's needs, nor am I saying it's perfect, but when you take the overall (significantly improved) protection, it's fairly good performance, the built in/free price, along with no annoyances/ads, it's really hard to beat. I have fully switched to WD, with OSA and will be adding [USER=32260]@Andy Ful[/USER]'s new firewall app, I don't think I can do better in all honesty. I mean what would I gain from going with a 3rd party, a few seconds faster installing a program, a task I don't do often?;) [/QUOTE]
