BUT look at it from the non-IT end user side, they want 1 thing to do everything, not 5 things.<br />Having said that, everything was simpler years ago wasn't it?Keith Brookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11107190540208956954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994561579739999989.post-75651333412307404442009-07-31T12:22:07.288+03:002009-07-31T12:22:07.288+03:00Unfortunately AVG has also turned into bloatware.
...Unfortunately AVG has also turned into bloatware.<br />I used to like AVG a lot when it was still a fairly lightweight program that just did what it's supposed to do, but they've added everything but the kitchen sink to it, just like all the others have (anti-spam, firewall, script filtering etc.)Woonjashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12683844268199124418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8994561579739999989.post-32039319964788292422009-07-30T19:06:47.078+03:002009-07-30T19:06:47.078+03:00Dragon, I agree entirely.

I don't use Norton any more sadly, I miss when Peter Norton owned it.<br />I use Avast, AVG on some others and a mix of various things from spybot to bits and pieces depending on which OS.<br />But pay for anti-virus?

In the years I've been running it, I can count the number of times I've had virus issues on one hand. OK Scratch that. I don't need a hand to count on. I've never had an issue.<br /><br />Even as a contractor taking my laptop onto client sites that were practially riddled with malware or allsorts, teh combination of AVG (teh free version) and ZoneAlarm (again, the free version) I have never had a problem.<br /><br />Of course it also helps that I use Lotus Notes as my mail system. :)Dragon Cotterillnoreply@blogger.com
