Quote - The answer is "MS".  And the fact that I've used Nortons since I first went on line.  The same reason I use Google and not bing.  I don't give a damn about pretty pictures on a search engine, I want the information I'm looking for.  I can still read, contrary to the ms opinion of the world.  Nortons Internet Security isn't that expensive, ordered from Purplus, I'll have it in a few days and it doesn't seem to slow the computer down. 

 

MS SE has been shown to be very good, certainly as good as Norton, if not better because of its integration with the OS. It's nowhere near as intrusive as Norton and is free.

 

I thought you hated bloat?, thought you hated wasting money on things that are not as good as something else?

 

As long as it's not big bad MS though I guess?

 

Who's OS are you using again? Why not just install Linux? Oh, because the stuff you want to use wont run under Linux. Why not buy Apple instead then if you hate everything MS so much?
