[NFBCS] Antivirus

[Doug Lee]

I recently worked (remotely) with two machines that came with McAfee LiveSafe. I found this solution to be profoundly inaccessible:
* Trouble with main app, though I don't remember details by now.
* A .exe file was deleted or quarantined without a Windows Action Center notification or accessible indicator I could find.
* NVDA OCR told me the event had occurred, but of course this gave no access to any controls.
* On both machines, removal of the package was not possible at least with speech; I had to download and run the MCPR utility to do it.

I say all this partly as a warning and partly to see if someone else had a better experience.

Hello:

I myself use Eset Internet Security. However, many people believe Windows Defender to be both free and adequate. Unless you want to learn something new, you are okay with what you have.

Kindly,

Hello,

I have been using Windows Defender for my antivirus. I am wondering what
other people use, and if one should go beyond Windows Defender. Thank you.

Warm regards,
