^^^ Used to too. But now keep it and Trend Micro as my second run ones if I suspect a virus and nothing is finding it. They all work slightly differently so chances are if oen doesn't spot it another one might

Trend Micro have (had?) a free browser based virus scan called Housecall that was always good for cleaning up a system.

Yeah, I have heard it's a good idea to have two of them in case one doesn't catch a certain virus.

yep, but dont ever run 2 of them "live" as they nearly always interact and screw up your system performance Only ever have one "installed" and use the others live or online scan.

It seems to do the job just as efficiently as something that you would pay good money for....

..... will keep "selling" the Microsoft Essentials, whcih is FREE

Now had another company that had a "kit of parts" of free solutions that ended up compromised and now on Essentials and tested it by doing the same actions that caught them before and it trapped it perfectly ! ( They foolishly had a USB drive used in an internet cafe in Malawi and plugged in on office laptop !! )

Took the opporuntity to educate AGAIN that anti-virus et al software is like a seat belt. You still have to drive safely and avoid risks

None. I have a Mac

Surprised the virus guys haven't exploited Apples more. Eventually I am sure I'll have to get something. 3 years on though and that darn computer seems like it will never die. Viva la Macintosh.
