[QUOTE="Zero Knowledge, post: 1071705, member: 57429"] If your going to use 3rd party AV just go with whatever is cheaper license wise. Kaspersky is cheapest I've found, followed by Norton/Avast/AVG. ESET/BItDefender are most expensive. But if I had to choose I would take ESET NOD32 with WF & WD periodic scans + Hard_Configurator. simmerskool it's not only ESET that breaks WF, BitDefender does this too and it's stupid and dumb. Not sure how you delete/destroy/bork WF to the point you need to reinstall Windows to get it working again but obviously you can. Ridiculous that AV software is so bad and that MS allows AV software to delete/stuff up a crucial Windows services.. [/QUOTE]
