Re: Avast and Jaws again!

Sorry!  I have never trusted Microsoft to look after my computer systems in any 
shape or form

In my opinion, Microsoft are about as trustworthy as standing on a frozen lake 
during a thore, hoping and preying that the ice is not going to give way under 
you, although you know it is certain to do so eventually.

Personally, I think Microsoft will eventually screw up with their Essentials 
software package as they do with everything else they release.  Their track 
record, guarantees it.

 If I was told Microsoft software controlled the systems of an aeroplane I was 
boarding or a car I was going to get in, I wouldn't be able to get away from 
that aeroplane or that car fast enough.  I value my safety and my life to 
believe that Microsoft would not be capable of looking after my best interests. 
 I would be moving away so fast, you would think that I either had a rocket up 
my backside or I had galloping gut rot and had to rush to the nearest bathroom, 
hoping I would get there in time.  Oh crap! I failed!

Sorry I am such a Pessimist about their products.  Sadly, they have never 
proved themselves to be trustworthy, which is why so many people, like myself 
around the world, do not trust them, no matter the promises they make to 
improve their software.

Sincerely:

Dave Durber

  Microsoft Security Essentials is the new standard in free accessible 
real-time anti-virus programs.  It has a smaller footprint than either Avast or 
AVG, and is not a resource hog.

    Recently people on this list have discussed false posatives with Jaws and 
Avast.

    I suspect that Avast has made updates since then.  Have these updates 
repaired the problem?

    If so do you all think that Avast is still a good antivirus program to use 
with Jaws? 
    To put the question another way, does Avast have a smaller footprint and 
take up less resources than AVG?

    Thanks, for any ideas you may have.

    Peter
