I spent a good deal of yesterday morning fighting with my antivirus software, which insisted on relentlessly crashing. It's very aggravating to have something so vital become unavailable, it forced me to find another AV suite to use before I could progress (I'm waiting until I better understand what went wrong before naming guilty parties). I can remember the days when you basically didn't even need anti-virus software. I guess that's the internet equivalent of remembering when people didn't lock the doors to their houses.
