I have also installed EZ Armour free trial anti-virus software but still it
was alerted as install other software. Immediately I dowloaded AVG free
anti-virus software but once again the security alert shows the same message.
 I wonder how this alert is coming from the security centre since every time
installed the anti-virus softwares recommended by the Microsoft corpn. It
means that I have to install only the professional editions not free
editions. I feel it is really a business knack. I want solution for this
