So people like to say here, oh look at Steam put 5 milion concurrent users, thats more than XBL or PSN.

I must say this is a fake, the reason this happen is because when i and more milions of people turn their Pc on Steam begans automatically and we dont even know about it, it happens with me and all my friends who use Steam, i had to remove Steam app from my Pc because of That.

So every time someone with Steam turn on his Pc Steam starts and you dont even know, that explains the awfull statistics in game users.

Current Players	Peak Today		Game
50,657	72,493		Dota 2
40,609	57,934		Team Fortress 2
36,426	53,108		Counter-Strike
29,991	58,090		Football Manager 2012
28,169	47,464		Counter-Strike: Source
20,011	35,392		Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 - Multiplayer
19,693	50,779		Sid Meier's Civilization V
19,010	39,446		The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
7,874	16,837		Left 4 Dead 2
7,284	12,414		Garry's Mod

Last time i saw alone on Psn their were 350K people on Black Ops, that alone is more than everyone playing on Steam (Games) at the same time.

Probably over 600K at same time on Mw3 yesterday on Xbox Live.

So Steam numers are a Fake and games numbers are awfully low compared to Consoles.

I won't comment on the sillyness of uninstalling steam... I'll just assume you're new to computers.

As for the last statement " That alone is more then everyone playing on Steam (Games). False as well, add up the games. It's quite a bit higher.

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 .

I'm a little bit baffled by the way you're typing / what you're trying to say. You're aware that there aren't just "killer viruses" that are just waiting to infect your computer on notable sites right? It's rather hard to get those type of viruses now, considering the knowledge that people have. 

Finally, for those who have lower end computers. The options you suggest do notably slow down their computer, as these programs eat up quite a bit of RAM and processing power.
