    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.

    What about you guys?

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

    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.

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

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