Hey Guys,
Don't know if anyone else has heard, but later this year Microsoft are launching a free anti-spyware program currently codenamed "Morro". It's going to replace their existing One Care services and be entirely free. Personally I think it's a great idea. But if everyone uses the same anti-virus. Won't it be catastrophic if someone makes a virus that can get through it? --------------------   |

Not gonna use it because Avast is just some much better and lighter.

I currently use AVG Free 8.5
Not had any problems with it. Admittedly it can drain memory and stuff during scans and updates, but that's to be expected. -------------------- |

I heard (from various sources) that One Care was annoying, but very secure.
Based on performance over usability -------------------- |

IMO, Kaspersky is the best one out there. However, I currently am using Avast, cause' my collage won't left me use it, and every time I go back I need to delete my anti-viral software; it's much easier to Avast since it's free.

I don't have Avast but from all accounts that I've heard it's a very good anti-virus system.
