I'm blessed in that I'm pretty good with both the ins and outs of a computer. I know how to use the Windows environment to the fullest of it's capabilities, how to fix it, as well as how to maintain the hardware of the computer
I miss my old IT job paycheck

I wouldn't recommend BitDefender. Nothing but problems for me and barely ever worked. Completely raped my computer's memory as well causing it to severly hang. All other suggestions were great though. Glad to finally get rid of those annoying fucking ads that keep appearing on websites.

Yeah NOD32 is tops as far as paid AVs go. For free, I really like Avast

What SPECIFICALLY makes those better, and what SPECIFICALLY is the PROBLEM with MSE?
I use it, it works really well. And it was free. I was considering maybe adding something else........ And I DID use AVG for YEARS. But MSE works so well(for me) I didn't see a reason to change it.
Every time I have a problem it's cleared up within minutes.

What are you man? 76 years old. I had an old lady at work tell me how excited she was to be online....."But my computer is awfully slow, and I get these weird messages all the time"
So I asked her if she uses IE. Ya that's the one! She said. PROUDLY.
I ask her if before bed she's run downstairs and fling her front door open all night, or if she's post messages on lamp posts asking people to break in while she's at work.
Long story short she came back in a week later and thanked me a few times "now it works great, thank you so much!" She even was able to install some anti-virus software.
If you can't match the "skills" of a 60 year old women, give your computer away to a poor youth.

Yep, I've found the same thing. And it has a very small system resource footprint, it's not some gigantic memory hog like a lot of antivirus programs are. Perfect for netbooks, IMO.
