[QUOTE="iHarrison, post: 1218150, member: 195020"] Yes. Of course. It's Windows that's stupid... I have Avira anti-virus, set to [I]only[/I] kick-in when my browser's transferring a downloaded file from the "temp" folder to its target, scanning it on the fly, so it [I]doesn't[/I] slow my system down when I don't [I]need[/I] it (I don't need AV for general browsing - between Windows Firewall & the anti-malware built into Google Chrome [I]nothing[/I] can get through via a plug-in on a page). If I can avoid viruses while running Windows, and without taking a 20% performance knock, anyone can... (Please note; this post is [B]not[/B] anti-Mac, just anti-Windows-bashers trolling-out the same tired, [B]ten-years-out-of-date[/B] propaganda.) [/QUOTE]
