Now just because they havent encountered a virus since you installed it doesnt mean they cant get infected. No matter what AV you use, if the company doesnt have the difinitions or the ability to block/quarantine the virus, malware, etc it can get infected.

You see this? Get FREE 1-Year License of Panda Internet Security 2010 on October 22!!!

We should redo this and add Security Essentials to the list, because that is what i prefer at this point.

Thx Osiris.. I did not see that.. but I am not kean on their firewall, causes more problems then it helps.. but the Anti virus is (IMHO) the best out there.. really Panda doesn't need to be in the list.. they have made it this far with out the lime light so I guess seeing a low user rate wouldn't help much either..

Panda cloud has one of the smallest footprints out there..

Osiris, you mentioned to me that MSE took the place of Windows live One care but you still have it here. WLOC.exe wants to download when I click your link, is it still available?

Well some people still have it on their systems and the software can be found so just in case someone has it, thats the removal tool.

Just make sure to run 2 programs. MSE doesnt catch all, neither does AVG but pair them together and the work very well.
