How many of you dare to use a beta Antivirus or Internet security solution

How many of you dare to use a beta version of upcoming Antivirus release from major vendors?

At the moment, I am using ESET smart security v6 on my desktop and will keep using it for next few months. :heheh:

What about you guys? :popcorn:

A beta version of an Antivirus = Recipe for a disaster.

:nono: No thank you.

lol :) Geeks are not worried about disaster. They learn from it :)

But yes, you can keep your main machines away from it.

I don't have a test machine and my PC has a lot of important information so I prefer stable versions (and even those can cause disasters sometimes :S)

Me, too, is using ESET Beta on a laptop for my mother and brother. Not much activities with it, just playing songs for my newborn baby-niece. :baby:

Why, I plan to get a free license for ESET 6. :blush: My KIS subscription is going to expire in two months ahead, that's why. :p

During my careless days I did a lot but those are long gone. Now I try to stick with the final release of every software.

Hahaha :lol:. You are right Grr. Newly released versions are almost as bad as betas :mad: (Except few companies like Symantec, Kaspersky etc.) So better to shift to new products after one or two months after the final release.

Currently using no betas. My pc had overheating issues so bought a new processor and a cooler master cabinet. Good to see arn and sam back in action. I was a beta tester for CAV(Comodo AV) and it ws very bad. ITS HIPS was so bad and it flagged itself as suspicious and it kept on forgetting rules.
