I used Avast for several years and it seemed to be ok, apart from the
annoying American voice telling me every time it updated itself. They
changed it recently to an even more annoying English voice.

Anyway, regardless of that, I switched to Microsoft Security Essentials on
the recommendation of people here, and it too seems to be ok and is
completely unobtrusive.

Subject: OT: Anti-Virus Software Again

I've been using AVG for several years and up until this very morning I've
been quite satisfied with it. But it seems like they've made some kind of
deal
with Yahoo and the latest update this morning has installed some kind of
Yahoo Error Handler & a Yahoo/AVG search page that I can't figure out how
to get rid of.

I managed to get my homepage back, but every time I open a new tab it goes
to Yahoo/AVG. I don't want tabs to open to Yahoo/AVG.

Plus, whenever any link fails to load quickly enough (which I've been
having a
lot of trouble with recently) it redirects to the Yahoo Error Handler page
and
there's no way to try to reload the page unless I've memorized the link
URL
and can type it in manually.

So now I'm looking for new Anti-Virus software.

Is there a good (preferably free) Anti-Virus product that *won't* hijack
my
browser for their own purposes?
