acemarch: Oh I know they can work great, I've been an IT Technician for almost 8 years now, but I prefer to spend the little bit of money on a solid product that I can have faith in, at the cost of what... one less new release game a year? The prices are affordable on decent software nowadays, so IMO that little bit spent on protection is worth it. (Suddenly sounds like a condom advert....)
I am a IT Technician, too. And I would advise everybody to check independent Tests such as http://www.av-comparatives.org/en/comparativesreviews/detection-test instead of just throwing Money away for strange Software. Spoiler: The free Anti-Malware-Solutions are at least on par with the expensive ones.
