[QUOTE="Cortex, post: 828063, member: 54432"] Does anyone remember the original Microsoft AV, well it didn't run in real time it was just a scanner & as I remember wasn't able to update, I think it came with Windows 3.0?/3.11? I ran it run time to time but it never found anything which isn't surprising, it wasn't on Win 95 as again I remember - I've faffed with Defender this last week on this my main PC & actually returned to Norton & HitManPro.Alert It's not for me regardless of how good it now is, (though in my experience over years it had room to improve) just personal opinion though - Maybe I'm getting old (I am) :eek: [/QUOTE]
