[QUOTE="monkeylove, post: 883276, member: 19756"] I don't see much sense in claims that "my PC has never been infected for years" because people use computers differently. Neither do I see the point in arguing that something that a program is either the best or "garbage." That said, I look at tests because it's better than nothing, and what I'm looking for isn't what's "garbage" or not but what provides the best protection without affecting performance that much. With that, I select free versions of the programs with the best protection given different tests, and then I do the ff. 1. I remove the ones that have popup notifications for upgrades or notifications that can't be disabled; 2. I install each one and see which slows down the PC the least; 3. From there, I select one which has the most features and use it for all PCs. [/QUOTE]
