[QUOTE="Marko :), post: 925262, member: 39702"] For me it's just not worth the trouble. Every AV deeply integrates in Windows; it's not just few files in Program files folder and a few registry keys. Much more is being done behind the scenes to keep you protected. That, however, comes with the cost. Once you uninstall the AV, your Windows installation won't be completely clean from the AV software that was previously installed and the only way to remove everything is new Windows installation. This is primarily reason why you shouldn't change AV software on daily/weekly/monthly basis; every installation "damages" Windows installation at some degree which could technically lead to some problems in future. Because of this, my PCs have very few programs installed, only the ones I use often. If I want to try some piece of software, I'll try the portable version, or if it requires installation, use virtual machine or special program like Shadow Defender. [/QUOTE]
