Hi Harold, The Avg free is fine. I tried both Avg and Avast and liked the Avg better. The thing Clint and I and others have been talking about is the Avg anti-spyware not the A/V. I've discovered you can't write the word vi*us on this list or the mail doesn't ever go through.
Zone Alarm's principle function is as a firewall. I would not stop using it. I haven't tried Windows defender but that's a personal thing. I will not use any more Microsoft software than I have to.

I've been using Avg with no apparent harm to the computer nor am I sure it does any good. It's just there in my sys tray upgrading every once in a while and that's it. What's the consensus in the group? Is it Avg or Avast? Or should I do neither and remove ZoneAlarm and as Hugh once suggested, use Windows Defender to do the job of both? Right now I have Avg, ZoneAlarm, Windows Defender, Ad-aware, and Spybot. In matters of health, my computer is better protected than I am. --- Harold ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
