Antivirus

Bit Defender 2010

• The software is improved in speed, but shuts down (bombs) and reports error messages every day on multiple test computers - both XP and Vista.
• Not recommended

Kaspersky 2010

• Rather complex user interface
• Interface will not allow a remote user to control the antivirus user interface(where a technician logs into another person's screen).
• Fast
• Never bombs
• Upgrade through web sites is very confusing - just buy another year's license.
• Recommended (our first choice)

McAfee

• Resets the FAT on one computer's drive - making it unusuable. The only way to recover is to completely reformat and reinstall Windows!
• Not recommended (it is forbidden on Advanced Tubular computers)
