I might go back to MSSE.  AVG can be annoying and a resource hog sometimes.

That is still an issue eh?  Good to know.

I'm pretty sure AVG was screwing up my mom's computer majorly. Uninstalled for now and going with Windows Defender and hoping she doesn't click on any bad links.

Avast has been pretty solid for me.

I'm running MSE now.  We'll see how that goes.

still running NOD at home.

A few days ago I bought a license for NOD and installed it for peace of mind, because the W8 security kept advising me to add an independant AV software. NOD and Windows 8 do not get along well. It caused a few lock ups, made it impossible to login using my pin (had to use password) and it was just a mess. I contacted NOD and asked for a partial refund. I did not ask for a full refund because Windows 8 is brand new but they offered to just do a full refund.

Might give Avast a try.

They don't have MSE ready for 8?

they probably do, I haven't looked. I thought it was on here, but the thing on here covers everything but antivirus.

Looking now they don't list 8 on the MSE site, just up to 7. I'm downloading the version for 7 (64 bit) to try because everything for 7 works fine.

EDIT:

MSE says I don't need it. But yet WD keeps advising me to install antivirus software....

Avast is working perfect and cleaned out some minor issues. Went ahead and purchased it.
