I'm wondering why everyone is installing XYZ antivirus on their windows 8.x computers. It comes with windows defender already in action AFAIK.
Since XP I have tried a couple other AV programs, one of which was bit defender, but came back to Window Essentials until I got Win7, then with 8.1 on my laptop, still stick to the MS provided AV. If you do some reading, you will probably come to the conclusion that AV protection is an illusion anyway. The AV software is ALWAYS a step behind the latest threats, so I just use what is already on the machine and try to practice SAFE computing with respect to emails and anything else that I would consider suspect from getting inside my network. > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Patti > Jakusz > Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2015 7:36 PM > To: RBASE-L Mailing List > Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: Is the problem Windows or New Computer > orRbase? > > Now, I packed the database.
