ANTIVIRUS PRO 2008 INFECTED IE 7.0 - GET FIREFOX!
I surrendered to getting BitDefender 2008 to supplement my NOD32 on antivirus, but mainly because it had 24/7 Singapore-based support, and included what it said was the best anti-Spyware and malware.
Despite some pretty confusing installation options that was disruptive (like loading in the CD to install but the pop-up asks if you want to download a newer version... "sure"... and it hangs). So you just install what's on the CD and it's fine. That sort of thing. Very common even in the stores which try too hard to be customer-oriented when there aren't the right resource processes to support the options. Go into a store, and the sign says "If we don't have what you want, tell us and we will get it for you." You go to the store person and report your request, and the first thing you hear back is, "All we have is already on the store shelf, sir." Very polite, right. It's even more sad that while you want to be nice to all these migrant and foreign language-speaking workers, you just have to hear this sort of thing voiced back to you. I am sure it's not their fault. But all this just adds up to consumer frustration, and eventually, dislike for these sort of workers when they are stereotyped as polite but useless.
Anyway, have you ever tried uninstalling Microsoft IE 7.0 on Vista in your laptop/PC? Tried all sorts of ways? Well, now you know how well embedded IE is on the Windows platform. You are stuck in hell, which is where those engineers are going for sure if God was ever on the Internet.
I must recommend FireFox browser and I can only say, just use your IE 7.0 for your Windows operation. That stupid application is so vulnerable to Trojans, worms, malware and other adware crap that once you are hit, you can't properly resolve, even if you want to reinstall IE 7.0. For the average PC user, you just feel like you needed to get a college degree on Windows just to live on earth.
