Because it SIGNIFICANLY slows down the matchine, especially at startup. It's constant look for updates which takes most of your CPU for about 10 minutes is a major bother.... you'd as well use a 8 year old PC.
Does anyone here really need a virus scanner? I run nothing, just watch file sizes and know what your downloading. Never had a problem. Tell me how linux works out. I wanted to try it, we'll see if we get a PC worth maybe putting it on and replacing XP.

Does anyone here really share a PC with someone else gullible enough to click on the fake AV's warning? NovaYoshi used to share a PC with his brother and his aunt before he got his own laptop.

Man, I don't know why you still hang around with the guy... I wouldn't care if he's family or not, if the guy is as troublesome as you make it seem I wouldn't want to have anything to do with him.

Hmm, yeah, but I still think it's better than AVG, but that's ME anyway. ^_^;; Any suggestion, other than AVG?
Well, being rather impulsive I've already reverted to windows XP. I don't have the patience required to get linux to, for example, play sound properly, or another example, use vsync in my favorite emulators =D. What I'm realizing is, if you want linux to work as well as windows you have to make it a hobby. I already have a couple of time consuming hobbies, one of which has nothing to do with computers. So, I'm willing to pay Microsoft $$$ to give me an OS that just bloody works =) Linux is getting startlingly close to an os that "just works" but it isn't *quite* there yet! (at least not for what I use it for---for people who just want to browse the internet and use facebook I'd say its there)
