Re: [Gimp-user] Update blocked by trend micro

[Cliff Pratt <enkiduonthenet gmail com>]

Do you have anything other than vague claims of guruship to back that up?

I've worked with several brands of security software (including supporting
some of them in corporate environments) and they all have their strengths
and weaknesses. I've used TrendMicro, and don't remember anything
distinctive about the brand.

I've seen what happens when some idiot turns off their security software,
and I've had to sort out the resultant mess. These days admins prevent
users turning off their security software thank goodness.

What exactly do you have against security software?
