If you distrust MS so much, why don't you switch to Apple?

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
