[PSYCHO-FREEP]

I agree, “Free Anti-virus” programs have put me in serious trouble, all too many times. I'll gladly pay the $29.95 per year. NOTHING beats a professional, fully supported program. And for that, one has to pay for the service.

Yeah, not only do I avoid “free anti virus” but the three major players have issues, too. McAfee, Symantec and now Trend Micro have turned what used to be decent products into junk that is overly invasive, with way too many “features” that can’t be turned off.

The worst offender, though, has to be McAfee. I’ve run into corporate installs that are impossible to uninstall unless one does a ton of research. It’s so bad, I’ve gone in and manually turned off the process and then disabled it.
