But Jerry, you need protection.
Are you really willing to go without it?
I have had to resort to using MSE and windows firewall for now.
At the moment the choice is to have "protection" on a computer that keeps freezing or run lesser protection and have a computer that flies.
I have a mate in Argentina who has suggested downloading it again and he will remote operate my machine to sort out any issues, so that might be the next step.
Obviously I have paid for the ESET so I want it to work.
