I've been using ESET since last we discussed this topic. I have bought
into their idea and have convinced my brother and sister to join this
party also. This took place in 2006. We are satisfied. Yes, all 3 of us
may us may use MBAM also, but I've lost my link to it. Long live ESET!
Best to you and yours,
Duncan

Thanks guys. I've always avoided McAfee in the past, just wondering
if this freebie from Cox had any worth. My wife is using it despite
what I've told her.....Free is a dangerous lure....
I'm using Microsoft Security Essentials (and MBAM). They use
Kaspersky at work, but after I found out their server (Kaspersky's)
had been hacked so well, they had no idea how long it had been hacked,
I decided against them.
What's good now?

Wow, that's pretty scary. Over the last 5 years or so, MSE went from
good to
adequate to practically worthless. Most AV tests now use it as the
baseline
to represent inadequate protection.
For Steve: avoid McAfee. Protection is adequate but system impact is
atrocious. Kaspersky and Bitdefender both have top notch protection
without
killing the system. I've had some weird issues with Kaspersky, so I'm
moving
to Bitdefender exclusively. I strongly recommend running MalwareBytes
AntiMalware (MBAM) in addition to AV protection. In practice, I think
MBAM
is probably more effective than AV, but both should still be used.

The company I work for (about 63k employees, so not small) did an
internal
study and has now switched totally over to BitLocker (instead of PGP)
and MS
Security Essentials (known as System Center End Point in the
enterprise).
It's all I've been using for years and best of all, it's free :)

very much of McAfee, but would this be worth it?
