Oh, cool, thanks, I look forward to this thread with great anticipation.

 

Not wishing to look a gift horse in the mouth through ignorance, how would this software affect the running of existing security programmes?

I run Virgin's "PC guard."

 

Sounds good to me John.............Looking forward to the "cool"software.
Good to see you around :thumb:.

 

thanks PC Medic looking forword to all the help i can get :yho::yho::yho:

 

PCMedic - I'd just like to echo the thanks of all the sensible, polite users of GC for the offer of useful PC programs etc, I'm sure they will come in very useful to a lot of people.

Watergarden - your post is the exact reason I haven't been around on GC for quite some time and I for one have reported it as being offensive.

 

Please have a look at the video that i have posted below from Youtube.

rating out of 10 for avast would be approx 4. Its a good Free antivirus but i have noticed especially when i repaired a customers pc yesterday onsite. they had avast antivirus free edition and it did use a good chunk of physical memory and resources. i had to go out and buy the customer more memory as the computer was a p4 with 512 mb ddr pc2700 Ram which runs at 333mhz. Another chunk of resources is used and lags the computer when it starts its update. This did slow their computer down drastically.

Please bear in mind....Every bodys computer is run differently. Has different operating systems and physical amounts of memory. A newer pc wouldn't even notice the the lag.....but a pc approx 3 years and older would.

I hope this helps mate :D

Thank You PC Medic For any future advice and suggestions you give,
I for one am very unsure when it comes to downloading free software and would welcome any guidance from a scource i can trust

 

I'm wary about downloading stuff. So I'd be interested to know if I need anything that I don't have at present.

As I mentioned I've Virgin's PC guard, which has; Anti-Virus, Anti-spywear, Identity theft protection, Pop-up blocker and Privacy manager.
It up-dates itself a few times a day and does regular scans but hardly ever finds anything.
It gets rid of temporary internet files and also empties my recycle bin unless I tell it not to.

It seems to think it's more "its" computer than mine.

 

Wrong type of software for me. I get all mine free anyway, Free Open Source Software. It's a great organisation.

 

You say you have lots of problems since your upgrade. Could you please explain the problems you are haveing. Also what Operating System you are using Including service packs. :D
