I think he is a pretty good actor, care to share? :D

I've had MSE for 4 years and not a single virus or malicious file of any kind. I guess most viruses are caught by unaware or careless people. Don't visit bad webpages and don't download from shady sites, etc etc.

Well if you are aware enought and dont get into fishy links or sites, or download suspicious .exe or unknown extension files, you dont need one.

All you need is Microsoft Security Essentials. Other anti-virus software does nothing but cause problems and hog resources, slowing down your computer (and games).

I don't use it either, never had any issues.

So why such thing didn't pop up for me?

I'm using 360 but every year I buy a new version. Like I said, I can't complain. I used various anti-virus software in the past and Norton is the best so far. Doesn't slow down anything, detects all viruses and trojans whenever they try to get in (I even tested that for myself) and false positives? You mean through SONAR? It does it based on "user usage" so when an .exe file hasn't been used by many people yet it will flag it as suspicious. But you can decide to leave the file on the hard drive anyway with just one click, yeah, that's tons of work indeed. At top of that SONAR can be deactivated anyway. Like I said, it's all in the settings, you can make it very efficient if you want but you actually need to spend time on it.

Last time I used Panda a few years back it sucked and was very CPU consuming. Not to mention it would scan .exe files for hours. When I entered a DVD I would have to wait like an hour before it ended scanning everything. And Ad-Aware is not even an AV lol. It's good as an addition to an AV program but good luck using only Ad-Aware and nothing else.

And free AV software sucks. Especially Avast which so many people use.

I got AVG from here, AVG is good but one annoying thing when Windows 8 updates it doesn't detect your update, it continue asking to restart computer to update even if you did it, but is still good, others are more annoying, I got it from here sharewareonsale 1 year version for free, I'm subscribed to their emails, they post free promotions for software, sometimes is useful.

Bitdefender 2015 was on free promo until yesterday.

Anybody clicks on the ads??? o.o
Edit: Now in a month my computer will have 2 years old. I NEVER used an antivirus, and I have no regrets. And I haven't got a virus.

Virus Bulletin and AVTest would disagree with you.
