| With Microsoft Security Essentials free, why would you pay for AV? Intel knows this, yet they bought an AV company. Huh? |

| Think AntiVirus on a chip. Similar to a Trusted Platform Module that offloads encryption/decryption tasks from the processor. This will offload malware scanning from the CPU and your virus definitions will be part of the driver. Just a guess. And how about that vendor lock in, for the life of the hardware... This could also be integrated into any type of computing equipment, PDA's, Smart Phones, Routers or even a SAN. |

#1,
Free doesn't mean best product. Yes, MSE are actually pretty damned good, but you can do better. For me, NOD32 is well worth what I pay for it not only in capability, but in how it doesn't affect the machine's performance. No more killing the AV when gaming. It's just not necessary with NOD32. Assembly is a beautiful, if not rare, thing :) This post was edited by TechLarry on Monday, August 23, 2010 at 10:27. |
