It has been invisible for 18 months, which is more than I can say for most of the software I use.
Oh, I agree that no one factors in the time to write meaningful comments in the code, or meaningful error messages. Getting things out the door is all that the companies care about anymore. I came down from “big iron” and you were required to follow the corporate guidelines which included flowcharts, designs, comments, and a separate technical writer took care of the messaging. That writer could understand the code because everyone was an experienced member of a team, not a one-time collection of people.
]]>LadyMin and I had problems with NOD32 v3 and went back to v2. Now, I use Avira. *shrug* It regularly scores high (along with NOD32 & BitDefender) but I found Avira to be efficient and reasonably unobtrusive (unless I turn on *everything*)! 🙂 I consider Norton AV to be a huge virus in itself, and a serious PITA! Also dislike McAfee, Grisoft AVG, Kaspersky (used to be good, garbage now), F-Prot, Norman, and a few others (oh, and ESPECIALLY *anything* from CA!! barf!). 😉 Oh, I like Dr. Web too. 🙂
