I subscribed to NOD32 for two years and ended up bailing after I just felt
it was too much effort to maintain and also felt it was taking a toll on my
performance on a moderately powered single CPU laptop. Switched to Windows
One Care for two years and now MSE. Same as you guys...no virus have taken
hold with any of them running and I'm just very pleased with the absolute
ease of use that MSE is providing me for free. I check on it every now and
again, it's always up to date, my scans run on schedule and my computer is
in no way bogged down. It's been flawless for me.
