[nfbcs] Accessible Antivirus

[Jude DaShiell]

If security is essential you will be using more than windows defender 
since malware exists other packages catch that just runs right through 
windows defender.  Short explanation for this is most malware in the 
wild isn't even detected by any antivirus package and that has been the 
case for the last couple years.  Any malware any of those packages find 
is a lucky break for the package and the user.  spybot from ninite.com 
is at least accessible.  Another possibility may be fixmestick though I 
haven't checked its accessibility out.  clamwin was a little difficult 
to use but not impossible the last time I used windows.
