[SEL] antivirus OT

[Fred]

As a retired IT professional I have come across many "solutions" to this 
problem. It seems to me that most AV solutions work to a degree BUT there is 
no one product that will give complete security. There is also the 
"personal" factor to take into consideration, products suit the working 
methods of some people but not others. It's often a case of what you are 
comfortable with.
There's also the issue of what degree of input do you want, either on 
installation or in use. Do you want complete automation or are you more 
comfortable with some level of personal control?

I am about to change my own AV protection. The reason is that the program 
that I have used for years is now too invasive and takes too much CPU time 
with all it's additions that accumulated over recent times.
I have installed AVG on PCs that I have built for others and they have been 
happy with it so I'm going to give it a try.
