[QUOTE="cutting_edgetech, post: 419857, member: 5778"] I never use default settings for anything. I think default settings are best for novice users. Most products provide a higher level of security when properly configured for the environment, or configured based on user-level knowledge. The developers usually try to balance level of protection vs usability. Since developers target the consumer market they target their products to less knowledgeable users in order to survive. If they don't bring in enough profit then they don't stay in business. They try to make as many decisions for the user as possible to avoid frustration by less knowledgeable users. Most novice users do not know how to configure their security software to avoid application conflicts, and answer wisely to security related prompts. [/QUOTE]
