Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Lets see... My time is worth $200/hr.
My 3 years of ESET for 6 Computers cost me less than that.
Once setup, when I pay in the future, all computers see the new expiration date.
AND they include the newest version of the software with this fee structure.
It's fast, and if you upgrade early, it extends your expiration date properly (unlike norton).
So... 1hr of time buys me 3 years of piece of mind, on all the computers I need.
I barely ever NOTICE ESET hogging cpu (over a slow VPN, yeah, but EVERY scanner will do this).
Ignoring the time spent "Dealing" with this stuff and the Lost CPU time justify the cost!
PS: In a past life, I went in and cleaned up machines for clients that their employees got infected... And it became so common, that they owner said the employee would absorb my charges when it happened on their computer... Funny how much less I showed up after that. LOL.

I understand where you're coming from and I'm close to being done. If it was a recurring issue I'd agree completely, but this is one glitch on one machine in 20 or 30 years of aggregate runtime across multiple machines; a rate low enough I'm not going to assume MSE is intrinsically worse than any competition I might switch to. And as a one off anything I learn troubleshooting isn't necessarily a loss in that I'm learning stuff I might be able to reuse later. I've more or less bottomed out there, the ETW log someone had me collect wasn't something I could readily figure out, so I'm down to the point where the turtles are replaced with dragons.
I've currently got a 30d trial of F-Secure running (recommendation from a trusted friend), and will probably upgrade to paid if the situation isn't auto-resolved within a month.

Do you use them during your workday? Or are you all digital?

Use them a lot as well as yellow stickies all over my monitor - works for me ( apart from remembering to set the CCC )

Yes - quick notes of numbers, names.
It's easier when on the phone too - I find it hard to hold the phione and type at the same time.
And for "quick sketches" the digital equivalent is just too much hassle.

As you get older it's important to stay active. All the people I know that have retired in front of the boob tube all died within a year.

My dad had once relayed to me, before his passing, that this was something he had observed as well. I believe 5-6 work mates of his, all died within 16 months of retirement. All of them shared one trait that was interesting - they were not active at all after retirement.

I am surprised by how many of my younger work mates come to meetings, presentations and brainstorming carrying an old style paper notebook. When I was that age, 15-20 years ago, noone wanted to be seen in a meeting room without a portable; that would mark you as pre-cambrium.
Nowadays, it is no longer necessary to emphasize your modernness to the same degree. Obviously, everybody has smartphones, with more processing and storage capabilities than the old portable. But they are not as good for jotting down notes (certainly not if you have got big hands!), and not for curves and similar sketches. So the notebook is a nice supplement to the smartphone.

I have a (much) younger work colleague who brings her laptop to every meeting and takes notes during the meetings.
Trouble is she is one of "those" typists who seem to make more noise than an elephanting elephant! Half the time the noise of her typing drowns out the speaker, and gods help us all if we're using a squawkbox on a dial-in.
I'd suggest to her to bring a pad and pen but she's a "clicker" too
Wouldn't mind so much if she actually shared the notes with us

Even something that can handle so-called "digital ink" (as much as I despise the term) such as Microsoft's Surface, in combination with software that is designed specifically for it, really isn't all that great. I'd still rather carry pen and paper for those occasions.
And although the camera might be useful for taking a picture of someone's whiteboard scribbling...the result leaves a lot to be desired.
