I have avast.  It is pretty impressive...sorta lieka  firewall itself.  If a website wants to install potentially harmful whatever, avast on-access protection blocks the site and saves me headaches in the future.

No, It's more exciting then that.

hmmm, I could play quake on nightmare, or watch MBAM detect 0 threats. I feel like something intense- I'll go with the MBAM.
