It's also free and does everything that AVG does and with less overhead.<br /><br />It does have some quirks---you have to add lines in the configuration for your e-mail/nntp connections or Avast! will block them. The biggest difference I can see between AVG and Avast! is that AVG examines e-mails after they've been downloaded and Avast! examines them while they're being downloaded.<br /><br />A small difference but I like detecting virii before they arrive than afterwards.<br /><br />Just my $0.02.<br /><br />BTW, hope the headache is over by now.Crucishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15441911110953212619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-58619359722618020042010-12-24T08:45:10.228-05:002010-12-24T08:45:10.228-05:00You have my complete sympathy.

Especially the license renewal end. <br /><br />I find it easier and usually cheaper to buy an anti-virus program at the local big box, stick the disc in, enter the key and forget about it for another year. <br /><br />It's none of that guy's business what color my underwear is. You would think her name is Napolitano. <br /><br />StrangerStrangerhttp://extranosalley.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-66650194082729926302010-12-24T08:21:13.257-05:002010-12-24T08:21:13.257-05:00Hope today and the remainder of the year are bette...Hope today and the remainder of the year are better for you and Mom X.<br /><br />Happy and Prosperous New Year to you and Roomie.<br /><br />Hugs as needed.rickn8orhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16911803300343351338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-70413962450176578182010-12-24T07:25:44.611-05:002010-12-24T07:25:44.611-05:00Pragmatically, I'll vote for AVG also.
