MSE and MBAM


I have to ask what's the point of replacing "2012" with "2k12", it's the same length but 2k12 is more confusing.

Avast is pretty thorough and not very intrusive for me. Used to use AVG, then it became annoying.

Because it sounds catchy in your head when you read it. Two K Twelve. I just say 2012.

I use Avast! currently but am thinking about running MSE.
