A Bad Virus Software choice

Found all these on a computer
Symantec Virus Software is a bad choice for virus protection. All of these Viruses were found on a person that I knows computer that got this software from the military... If this is the software that they use they are in trouble because most of them viruses that I removed were Trojans... I used a Free but good virus program called Malwarebytes. Before I used this software I updated and ran the Symantec Virus Software and it found 96 Trojans, then I figured I'd try Malwarebytes and as you can see it found 1896 Viruses and removed them.. I just hope this is not the virus software that our military uses because it is a very bad choice... It makes me wounder how safe all of our secrets really are...

Computer Viruses

Well today I scanned my computer for Viruses... This was the first time in months that I have done this... The reason I waited so long was to see how bad the Virus scanner I am using was... Well when the scan completed I had a total of  9986 Viruses now that is insane.... The program I used and LOVE was Malwarebytes you can download it FREE by clicking on the name, it only cost money if you want it to always scan your computer.. If you don't mind manually scanning and telling it to remove infected files yourself then you will love it to... The virus scanner I was using was Avast virus scanner, it is ranked good in Consumer Reports and it may be good but it sure missed a lot of Viruses and made my computer run slower than a snail because of it....
