The built in firewall is good enough. And no I don't run any antivirus because a little common sense plus always having the latest Windows Updates protects against all known malware, except zero-day attacks which antivirus doesn't work against anyway. That program sounds like it slows your system down as much a virus would, if it polls every part of your system constantly. What if this Winpatrol is logging your keystrokes and sending them back? Not saying it is, but how would you know? I don't love Microsoft but I trust them because if they weren't doing their job on security, millions of business customers would be complaining. |
That's fine if your on a redundant network, but no way would i connect to the internet without heuristic analysis, but even with the very best security software, there still no existing 100% secure computer connected to the net .
