Thane,
Interesting share. I just updated to V5 ESET A/V. No, not the bigger
Security Suite.
Funny to my view, ATM, is the even though I told ESET to install to my
D: partition, when I view c:program files/Eset, I find much of the stuff
I would expect to be actively working at D:. In days forward I will
raise a
question. I still use ESET; I just rcvd my extended
license............... :)
I never had Kaspersky work nicely here.
I did use Avira 18mo. ago with no trouble.

I've never been a fan of Kaspersky, based on the largely unscientific
observation that many computers that come in with it install are also
infected. I just had to install the POS on a client's computer today,
and I think I know why it's so ineffective. The initial update will
probably be well over 100MB in size (I'm at 41% complete and it's
63.8MB). Any program that requires updates of this size isn't going
to get successfully updated very often, I wouldn't think. Now part of
this update is engine updates, admittedly, but even a full download of
Avira is only 80MB, so I'm not sure what the heck Kaspersky is doing.
(I also think the founder likes to make wild-ass claims on twitter and
in interviews which makes me a bit leery of the product as well.)
Maybe I'm being unfair, but I thought I'd mention this in case someone
is considering it.
