Default Mart - AVG Updates - STILL available!

Isn't that all the more reason for you to 'love it'?
Had no idea what 'Marmite' was, but I do now: it's a British bread spread
which some love and others hate it.
Come to think of it, you may have a point here, as always g.

It's like Marmite, Harry.

The two or three times I've tried Avast! over the years, I've found
the interface abominable, Harry. Or possibly abdominal. That would
be in the sense of gastric complications.


You are entitled to your opinion, Shane, as everyone else is and I
respect it, but what specifically is so abominable about it? That was
my question. Your gastric complications don't have anything
whatsoever to do with Avast, I'm sure. You probably had too much
chilly? H.

Who? Moi?
I wasn't wild, until that person tried to pull me for being too
forward on my criticisms of NAV crapware!- with even less reason
than I had for making said criticisms in the first place.
In the end, Robear had to pull us apart - but I stand by every
word I said then (and would say the same again today).
I've still to see a quicker way to kill a PC than installing Norton
software (except the malware that Norton lets through)
I've had one or two discussions with more 'au fait' people than me
WRT AV's - and they still agree that the retail versions of
Symantec software leave something to be desired (while the
'business versions' are possible up there with the best).
I ain't changin' horses yet, Tonto!

I have, though, decided that AVG has got rather top-heavy for what
it does, and have begun evaluating Avast ( as that seems to be the
current 'most-favoured' free AV).... so far so good - it seems to
give Vista a little more elbow-room than AVG did on this box, with
no more interference.... BUT! (you knew that was coming?) the
user/control interface is abominable! - no clarity at all in the
freebie version, and I still get confused (after 1 month) by which
button needs clicking for what!

You surprise me, Noel, 'abominable'?
I have been using Avast for years now and would like to know, what's
so hard about clicking the right button? You are supposed to help
Figgs out, not toot in her horn vbg.
Otherwise we are seeing eye-to-eye, I think g.
