Used to be a huge fan of Bitdefender until I discovered ESET.
If you're downloading from a dodgy source, you're asking for it.
What if you are downloading "Doggy Sauce"?

Yes yes yes, but unless somebody can show me where to buy a single-user ESET licence for R50, this is still probably the best deal around.
Bitdefender has a decent interface, it states confidently 'You are protected. This system is safe.' (I wish I could believe that), and there's no noticeable slow-down. For now, it'll do. I reckon if any elite hacker decides they want to break your system, you'll need more than store-bought software anyway.
You're not saving since you paying R50 for software to slow your PC down![]()

Common sense in that case would be to disable Flash.
