After I got tired of both Norton and McAfee and dumped them years ago, I have been using AVG without incident for at least a decade now. And doing research via the WEB, I'm all over the place downloading files, etc., from unknown sites as well as dealing with attachments to e-mails daily.
AVG has a free version but you must remember to manually update it daily. I willingly pay for good stuff that works, so I have a paid subscription. Costs about $22/year for each machine. I've considered switching to Windows Defender but also avoid fixing things that aren't broken. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- From: Elecraft [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Josh Sent: Saturday, March 18, 2017 10:16 AM To: Elecraft Reflector Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KX3 update utility download removed (i.e. blocked) by Norton Internet Security in Windows 7 Dumped Norton many years ago. It's nearly a virus itself. Haven't seen a replacement suggested yet, so.. I've been very happy with NOD32. It's around $30/yr, not the cheapest, but hasn't let me down. Have also heard good reviews of Avast which is (used to be?) free. 73, Josh W6XU Sent from my mobile device > On Mar 17, 2017, at 11:26 PM, [email protected] wrote: > > I will second that suggestion.
