Actually, there are people who will do just that; you never know. Newbies
especially see information as the last word rather than the opinion it most
always is. Many are shocked to discover there are jerks, criminals and
experts, just like in the real world. Everything seems so "official" to
them. Vendors can 't be bothered with education in most cases and it's
basically a buyer beware setup.

Newsgroups are great places to get assistance.
But always verify important information with
other sources to be certain you have a clear
understanding of it and that it is accurate.

I used to use it. version 8 was terrific, but 8.5 was not. "Link
scanner" was a disaster, taking a lot of time to do something it
shouldn't have done in the first place, and the program as a whole
was a resource hog.

I moved to AVIRA after AVG; can't say it is the best, only that it works
for me, and doesn't get in the way. See http://www.free-av.com/.
