[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 910972, member: 32260"] Let's assume that the [B]average home user[/B] has got an already configured computer with one of the popular AVs installed (Avast, Bitdefender, Eset, F-Secure, Kaspersky, Microsoft, Norton, Panda, etc.). Advising him/her to install another one because it will be better seems pure garbage: [LIST=1] [*]There is no proven evidence that the protection in the wild will be significantly better for home users. [*]Why would the average user spend time to install & learn another AV? [*]Can the average user download/install/configure the new AV? [*]What should do the user if the new AV will produce issues? Can the user recognize the source of the issue? Can any AV be easily uninstalled? [/LIST] Edit. So what the average user can do? It is simple, he/she has to get help from a professional service or from a more advanced user. [/QUOTE]
