To be fair, I'm not saying there's any real harm in most people using AV software, other than that it'll noticeably slow down any laptop with less than an i3 for no good reason. I'm just pointing out that there's no reason for people to worry, and CERTAINLY no reason for people to be panic-scammed into paying for "professional" AV or the premium versions of the free ones (which are constantly ad-spammed by the programs themselves).

I'd just rather not have to worry about AVG constantly soft-deleting my DaemonTools
I agree with you this is a big panic for nothing, to hear the way the news was going on earlier you would have thought there was going to be an alien invasion 'two weeks to prepare for the attack' jeezo

And I know exactly how you feel I'm always to rescue daemontools from the virus vault
