I think its worth of looking for. I use F-Secure Internet Security 2010, but I'm thinking of moving to Kaspersky when my license runs out. stonehenge, Many here have praised the Kaspersky.

What is worse is that my fellow IT workers do not seem to understand the concept of "false positive". They believe that if Trend Micro says it may be a virus that it is and must be removed. It is very annoying. The Trend Micro OfficeScan at work finds false positives all the time. What is worse is that my fellow IT workers do not seem to understand the concept of “false positive”.

They work well together on Vista and win 7 7100.I play alot of games and i always have issues with the network or even .exe itself. I am forever telling people to use you own head and not let the p.c dictate to you. Look at the file extensions, locate them via properties or process explorer etc.I don't use some anti virus products because they will remove files without asking, very annoying restoring them.Cheers.
