I'm a fairly long-time subscriber to AVG (their paid Internet Security anti-virus plus firewall product). I switched to it back around 2003 when Norton Internet Security got to be more of a problem than a solution. Of late, though, AVG seems to be going the same route; they can take quite a long time to address issues, and there have been a couple of occasions where I've had to turn a feature off for a couple of days because until the bug got fixed AVG was chewing up vast chunks of CPU time. Not, I hasten to point out, in the core functionality (anti-virus and firewall). But there is creeping featurism (which is hard to tell apart from bloatware) - link scanner, identity protection, etc. - which sometimes trips over configuration issues. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
