[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 778426, member: 32260"] Thanks. So, we have an open question: [B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Can WD be usable to the average user?[/COLOR][/B] [B]In my opinion, WD can compete with any free AV, when the user is not a happy-clicker, does not engage in high-risk behaviors or use cracks & pirated software, does not frequently transfer data through the external drives/flash drives, etc[/B]. I excluded the paid security software, because WD is free. We should also exclude most of MT members, because they are not average at all. So, the average users will be rather adult people who use the computers for browsing the Internet, playing media, displaying photos, using email clients, reading/editing documents, running already installed applications. Most of them do not use Windows Explorer and cannot tweak any AV, but can use the shortcuts from the Start Menu and Desktop. The average user can hardly get help from the advanced user when the issues arise with: the broken updates, software conflicts after system & software updates, malware infections, etc. Those people simply use the computer with Windows 10, because no one told them to buy the Cromebook. It would be good if everyone posted freely, his/her opinion. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
