Which AV (Anti virus) Should I choose, My AVG has about a month left on it, and I was thinking if I should buy another key or get something like Bit defender. I am happy with the results of AVG, but some people say it doesn't pick up tons of stuff I could be getting. Any ideas? Thanks.
Which AV?

Microsoft Security Essentials has worked good for me and it's free.

Yeah, they're secure and get patched more frequently than some AVs do. How terrible
Yeah, I mean especially since MSE has one of the highest detection rates of any AV (paid or free). That's just terrible right there!

Have you ran MSE?
Please back up your statement with some facts relating to M$ operating systems.
Who are you comparing them to? When you say look at them do you want us to look at the box? code? How they stand up to hackers?

Blanket statements with zero backup do not carry any weight.
I'm currently running Kaspersky internet suite 2010, Check out the AV reviews, It has the highest detection rate.
As for Windows, It has to have all these patch's (Critical Update's) Because of sloppy programming. You dont hear of other OS's being updated this much, Because they are far more secure to start with.
