Methinks that not having the fox (MS) guard the chickens is a good idea. Competition is always good tho Symantec has some work to do on bloat.

I've used TrendMicro often and am somewhat surprised that they're with MS now. Hope they won't start charging for their scan. Guess money talks. Hopefully this will trickle down to the less than adept user so their boxes don't get compromised.

If they do start charging for their scan, try this one. Even though I own their enterprise version, I find their online scan to be excellent.
