I keep seeing all the warnings and such... I just had to call Mickey Soft cuss-some-more support due to a problem with my 8.1 machine (It had to be reset and one piece of Microsoft software would not re-install post-reset) Well while the reset tool was running we chatted about security, actually while setting it up,  I mentioned the Anti-Malware I have,, (Actually it mentioned itself when it ask for permission for the tech to connect and install,, I had to triple approve) And the fire wall I use.
He mentioned Windows Defender,, Microsoft's entry into the field.
Turns out... The software I use, is rated much higher than MSs stuff, and of course it is still fully supported.
That said.. Next time I have a couple hundred spare dollars, one XP machine is going by by. the other one.. I'm not so sure abut but one machine has never really had the horses it needs and is made by a company I do not like and I'm spoiled by the power of this Tosh Im using now.
I'd like to get my R-52 back but I am not sure the shop I sent it to even exists any more.. Perhaps this fall.
