    AmiBroker vs. TradersStudio

    Certified Technical Analyst

    Firewall + Antivirus

    Now I see also more reports about critical issues with AVG but its too late. Unfortunately I was too lasy to research before buying. Without antivirus I feel a bit too dangerous or its necessary to be very disciplined on the web and with installing different sw.
