-pops- Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 I wonder about the future of commercial A/V and anti-malware programs.Now that MS install (or have available) built-in windows security* I think that for most people, this is adequate. The built-in Windows program seems to keep my machines in order although I admit to an occasional check with a "travelling" A/V scan (Housecall or the like) to make sure, I've not had any problems.*Why wasn't it in Windows version 1, one wonders?

bludgard Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 *Why wasn't it in Windows version 1, one wonders?If I had to guess, I would think that virus and malware was not that prevalent back then. However, to have only been fiddlin' around with computers for about a year and a half now, I may be speaking out of ignorance.As far as Comodo fared on my old XP; it bogged it down to the point of being quite useless. It must be said that this particular machine is hardware-challenged. With a CPU at 730 MHz and RAM at 256 MB, I probably should have tried on a more advanced machine. As I uninstalled Comodo, I ran into a couple of minor issues that left me without an internet connection. I tried system restore; sfc / and a repair install; reinstalling IE8; even creating another user account from a side by side install. If I had tons of time to figure it out I guess I could have. I chose to clean install again since it was a fresh install anyway and I foolishly forgot to image the drive before installing something as invasive as an anti-virus/malware. I like the programs interface and configuratin options. It can be a little involved for the average user (like me) to slim down. I imagine that like all other things in life, practice makes perfect. Since I only use this machine to compose school related .docs and visiting this forum, I have chosen to run it without any protection at all...save for imaging. Very fast and responsive.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
