YUP... you read that right. An Ex-Mozilla Employee found that alot of popular antiviruses have security holes that can let hackers inject malware into your pc, like a command execution flaw found in Trend Micro's antivirus. Some antiviruses even block safe programs! For example, I tried logging into minecraft and for some reason it kept timing out the session. After weeks of searching finding nothing i decided to turn off my Avast and as a miracle minecraft was fully loaded! IDK about you people but if you want an AV that "protects" you from malware by making you stop playing your games i would rather get my hard drive fried by a nasty virus than consider adding security measures. Thankfully, Microsoft's security essentials doesn't have these kind of bugs! It's free, lightweight runs in your background and doesn't interrupt you gameplay because of a "Potentially unwanted program"
