[QUOTE="Marko :), post: 1096059, member: 39702"] That's the most painful way. Why? You created system image, then installed other antivirus software and tested it for a month or so. During this time you used your PC normally meaning you saved some files, probably did some changes and all the software is up to date. Now, you want your old system back; you restore the system image and lose all the files and changes you did after creating the system image backup. Not to mention, all software you had updated, is now outdated and need updating again. I used system image before as a replacement for system restore because it's more powerful. It costed me some files I cared about as I forgot they weren't included into system image. 🙄 Now I use system image just in extreme cases for when I would ran into some issues that I couldn't fix. It's just better to test antivirus software into virtual environment. Or just not to test it at all, and as I said, keep using the antivirus software you trust. 🙂 Yeah, it took me a while to find that as well. I also have nothing listed under web protection. It's probably reserved for some Microsoft service. [/QUOTE]
