Any Opinions on Vipre Anti-Virus/Anti-Malware?

[ASCII]

There is _no_
equivalent to PMView (originally OS/2) on any platform, nor of Irfanview
either.

I have XnView as my default graphics app,
works more reliably than IView (better thumbnail presentation)

Aha. If your computer is actually getting infected even as seldom as
"once every six weeks" then I would suggest you are doing something
wrong. With lack of details, I couldn't hazard a guess why, other than
you don't practice 'safe hex.'

That's got to be it. I have 5 computers running versions of Windows, and one
acts as a honeypot. I seldom get anything. I run root scans and whatnot just
to see and my machines are clean. But I also don't download everything people
want me to download, either.

No, no actual experience, but still confident enough to state
categorically that MSE *is* the best.

MS developed the OS. They are therefore best able to develop the
software to protect the OS.

I use VIPRE Antivirus as its low on resoruces and lets me still play games, its good software and I highly recommend it.

Maybe a good place to ask your question, David Kaye.
