I think they mean that they don't have affection for AV programs- it's really quite normal to not feel affection for a inanimate and intangible piece of electronic code, so this comes as no surprise.

    the megaman classic series owns the rest  ;D

    probably has the best music of the entire NES lineup- only Zelda2 has better music IMO.

      Avira. Why can you select more than one option? You should only be running one AV at one time...

        I am using AVG on my desk top, wife's laptop has Avast, and unfortunately my work laptop has Symantec. I would replace symantec but the IT guys would would have strung up from a flag pole by my toes.

        I also do the occasional DR.Web CureIt scan.

        Good question. I tried to search for its origin, but I came up empty (must be some Norton thingy...LOL).
        However, it has a lot of bad press, judging from Google search.

        Probably a company owned by Sir Richard Branson...
