[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 882695, member: 71075"] Just because the pictures are different doesn't mean something is wrong. One could simply be a logo, the other the icon for the application itself. If you are really concerned, just ensure that you get the software from the developer and not elsewhere. As for getting an AV program itself, unless you visit sketchy websites, download files you shouldn't and open attachments from people you don't know and trust, you should be fine from any sort of malware. While it's nice to see that you want to be security conscious, consider the likelihood that you will get some sort of malware. I only say this because AV programs are CPU hogs and you might find it more distracting and cumbersome than helpful. If you feel you need it, by all means install it. [/QUOTE]
