Did you not read what I wrote?
I said programs like Avast were fine unless you didn't know what you're doing with a computer.
The others I listed are more user friendly than Avast.
Also, going by personal experience, (I'm a certified tech who has worked for more than 12 years fixing computers), fewer computer with the programs I said were better become infected. And I remove viruses from an average of 20 machines a week.
Now, I'm sure other techs have other experiences, but this is what I see. And I'll trust what I see in the real world over what a research company finds in a controlled environment.

because the source coed the hackers got was not for the current version. Symantec has cleaned their code considerably.
Also, notice it was at the end of my list? It's not my first choice, but it still does a decent job against viruses.
By your logic, hackers have hacked Gizmodos user database and stole a shit-ton of passwords. Why do you still trust this site?
Because they victim of a crime doesn't mean you should stop doing business with them if they supply a product you desire.

I would feel sorry for her, but, y'know, she's an adult and should know better.
Also, it's harder to laugh at someone when you feel sorry for them.

Kasperskey is good. I'd also recommend Webroot, Sophos or even Symantec.
And the free ones aren't bad per se, they just require some know how to make them work like they should.
Unfortunately, that know how is beyond most casual users. Let's face it, we all have that person we know that will download and install everything they find on the internet.
You know who I mean: the one who has so many tool bars in IE that you can only surf the web 1 inch at a time...

He was practicing his "cool" by clamping it between his teeth and talking like Jimmy Cagney.
For a free solution, MSE and Malwarebytes is a very good combo. It's what I recommend to anyone not willing to pay for their anti virus.
the only problem with Malwarebytes free edition is it requires user interaction to work like it should.

Well, I don't have anything against Avast.
I said it wasn't a good option unless you know what you were doing, which it sounds like you do, while most users, like your mom, don't.

Symantec is better now than it has been in previous iterations. But, no. I'm not going to endorse one specific program as there are lots of good ones out there.
The free ones can be good if you know what you're doing. But, the average user doesn't, so a paid solution is usually better for them.
Unless you paid for McAffee.....

hey man.....it's my job to care......

Job. Security.
Job. Security.
I've noticed that for 90% of all computer users, as long as it does what they want it to do, they don't care about anything else.
It's really slow. So what. It still works.
You notice a clicking sound? Meh. It boots fine.
We have many machines come in that are virtually unusable due to lack of RAM, (really? you're running Vista with 512mb?), viruses, or a hardware failure that it's stopped being funny years ago.
And when they check it in, they say, "It's been making a strange clicking sound for about a month, and now it says 'Can Not Locate Boot Drive'. I won't lose anything, will I? I don't have a backup."
All it takes is a good anti virus/malware tool and about 10 minutes a week to keep everything working nicely. (and by good, I mean not Avast/AVG/McAffee/Panda or any free one, really. they are junk unless you are adept with computers which most people aren't.)
Also, look at whats on your computer.
If there's anything on it you want to keep, BACK IT THE FUCK UP!
Hard drives fail.
Every single one of them will eventually fail.
If you want your music/pictures/porn/financial records/etc... back them up or you will lose it all.
Backups are stupid-easy and stupid-cheap these days.
And don't even get me started on people too lazy to update their virus definitions, let alone run a scan.
"What do you mean I have a virus? I have a program to stop them!"
Yeah. Let's see.....last update ran 7 months ago. Last scan run.....never.

looks like a garlic/butter sauce. or could be some sort of curry.
The bulb one step up, the Pharox 300 Blu, outputs 360 lumens, uses 6w, and is $6.95.
I think the 200 would be good if you need to leave a light on all night, like when you have your elderly parents staying over who tend to get up and bump into things in the dark because they don't see the need to turn on a damn light. Yeah! I'm talking to you, dad!
And the 300 would be fine for a reading light.

As for the people wondering why it's not dim-able, I think it has less to do with the LEDs used and more with how they are connected to the E26 fitting.
I dunno.
Who was the first person to follow a chicken and say, "I'm eating whatever plops out it's butt."?
Food is strange. They may not see it as rotting. They may see it as aged. (a stretch, I know)
In medieval times, pepper was a popular spice because it covered up the taste of rotten meats.
And, butchers have been known to just slice to old, fetid chunks off the meats they had hanging in their shops before refrigeration was standard.
Also, food that we would consider rotten may be considered edible by hungry people.

But, whatever. That stuff is nasty.
They don't call it "Birds Nest Soup" because it looks like a birds nest.....
All rocks are different. Your cooking time may vary.....
In south-east Asia they have a popular condiment called Nuc Maum sauce.
It's a fish sauce thats made by layering fish and salt and a few other seasonings, letting it sit out to rot, and collecting the juice that runs off.
MmmmMmmmMm.

And, the ancient Romans used to flavor their wine with lead. Made for a good accompaniment to their braised bird eye and cat intestine stew. (yeah...I'm not kidding)
Still, I bet it tastes better than haggis.
I'm depressed because I have to take prozac.
So my doctor prescribes more anti-depressants, so I get more depressed, so they prescribe more anti-depressants, so I get.....
You see where I'm going with this?

If they would just prescribe the heroin, like I asked, I wouldn't need the prozac....
If I play video of Shep Smith on a tirade, but keep my eyes closed and picture Yosemite Sam, I'm always happy.
