[QUOTE="polishpatriot, post: 858568, member: 85707"] But VS isn't free AV. It is an anti-executable. And besides, whomever the OP is, if they install VS on all those systems then they will be getting phone calls from friends & family about all the problems that VS causes. It's a product that is completely inappropriate for anyone other than security geeks. It's just like recommending Hard Configurator... a true freeware utility that is entirely inappropriate for anyone other than a security geek. Typical users cannot handle anti-executables nor software restriction policies. Default deny doesn't work for them. Only default allow does. If a user is inclined to use default deny, then they often find their way to places such as MT and then learn the ropes. [/QUOTE]
