[nfbcs] virus software

Thu Nov 21 04:58:17 UTC 2013

I use microsoft security essentials and malware bytes since each of 
these packages is usable with nvda and each locates and kills stuff the 
other package misses.  With a single antivirus package you may well be 
having problems you know nothing about for quite a while.  Since a 
security professional installed the windows version I use at home and 
installed both of those antivirus packages so one could catch what the 
other missed I figure it's a pretty good operating policy.  I never do 
quick scans with either package since quick scans are useless though.
