turned on my computer and got a security alert saying f-secure anti-virus is
out of date so I opened f-secure and checked for updates, that seemed fine
no updates needed but still get this alert, f-secure support suggested
re-installing and still that same windows security alert tells me its out of
date, realizing that f-secure would never admit to problems with their
software I went out and bought norton anti-virus, now when I disable auto
protect to play certain games I get symantec security alerts saying I should
disable redundant windows security alerts and that my anti-virus is turned
off, and the game won't stay open.
now, should I go out and buy yet another anti-virus program that won't do
these things-if so which one? / or should I just throw this machine out the
window
thanks
