[QUOTE="Ramblin, post: 106675, member: 170"] Whatever, I ll give you another one. Let me talk about Stress and antiviruses. I mean, I use to get stress out every time that I upgraded an antivirus. At least twice, when Avira9 went to 10 and MSE from 1 to version 2, those upgrades stressed me out so much that I ended switching from Avira to Avast and in the case of MSE, I just called it quits on antiviruses. The stress that I got in those occasions is nothing compared to the stress that people get when their AV goes crazy after an upgrade that goes bad. I mean, we see it all the time, people getting a BSOD after an upgrade and in many cases, people have to reformat their machine because the antivirus deleted system files not allowing the user to stop it. This is serious, it bothers me and anybody that uses an AV is exposed to it. This updates/upgrades are worst than viruses sometimes, you know. This are just a couple of examples why my stress level is about 1, if I was using a bunch of stuff a la;) Umbra, my stress level would be about eight or nine right now. Bo [/QUOTE]
