Uficle: Windows Malware Tool by leistico 2008-04-07 16:20:19
Question: I just did a nuke and pave on an XPHome box, and I'm pulling down all the updates and such from Windows Update. I never use M$ malware tools on my own box -- I have others I trust. Is the Windows Malware tool "worth it?" Will it cause problems/be effective/be a waste of space? I typically use AVG free things. Opinions--should I pull it down or just not worry? It's not a mission-critical or hypersecure machine, just my own little design rig now (twas donated to us.)

I'd have put Linux on, but it doesn't run Sketchup with any reliability.
