Hi,

My name is Joe, and I'm an alcoholic a first time poster.

Recently my hard drive failed and so I purchased a new one, recovered my data (for less than $100, thankfully!), and have now recently installed Windows 7.

I sought to look for a good antivirus program. I haven't paid much heed to the world of malware, spyware, viruses etc. because I haven't had any problems in years. My whole life (and by that I mean the last 3 years) I was using AVG, and I recall I disliked certain aspects of it.

Based on a somewhat more than cursory examination of a number of recent discussions, I decided MBAM seemed t to have the most consistent praise.

I then realised I needed an AV program to go along with it.

This is how I stumbled upon this thread.

You guys have been most helpful. Just wanted to create an account to say so.

Thank you!
