Obviosly, the Pottermaniacs are about. I know there were at LEAST three comments (one of which was my own)addressing the fallacy in your post. Of course your complaint was much more ably answered by the ESET spokesman who brought up the same points. The only explanation I can think of for the missing comments is they Disaparated. So, did they go to Diagon Alley, Hogwarts, or some muggle place?

Seriously, I find it hard to believe someone who is reputedly a securiuty guru would make such a comment. To the best of my knowledge, no major antivirus app can be shut down the way you described. I don't even know of a firewall, except for the Windows firewall, that can be shut down completely WITHOUT going to services. Of course I've only tried Zonealarm, Outpost and Comodo. Zonealarm goes so far as to have a driver that cannot be unloaded without uninstallation. Even then, you have to go into Explorer, unhide system files and physically delete the file. It took me trying to install Outpost to discover that little fact.
