I've read that it's quite good, but I've never seen it actually do anything but a scan.Originally Posted by kc7jty
Get a copy of Malwarebytes Free Edition for the trojans, spyware, and malware. Scan weekly.
On another note, AusLogics has a new version of their disk defragmenter out ... real spiffy, and it will move frequently accessed system files to the start of the drive (dunno personally about the value of doing this ...), plus it will analyze drives for fragmentation, several at a time.
They also have a new registry cleaning and error correcting tool out. Both are free (for now)!
QAnon / GOP Republicans mentally lack the necessary intelligence to even tell a decent lie (Ex: A cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic pedophiles run a global child sex trafficking ring and conspired against former President Dotard dRUMPf during his term in office... Jewish space lasers, etc.). What in the hell makes anyone believe these melon heads can actually govern?
Thanks Luke. My 60 day free Norton is up next week. I'm thinking about Avast, Malwarebytes, & Spybot for security. Any suggestions?
The auslogics defrag takes 1/50 the time the windows defrag takes, amazing.
Dump the Norton before the deadline lest ye be saddled with nuisanceware.
YES, thanks for the reminder, also, can I dump it whole or are there pieces that must be dumped in correct sequence?
update: looks like there is only "Norton Internet Security" in the programs listing, I don't see anything under Symantec.

That sounds solid! AVG just released their version 9, and it looked pretty good on a 2.8 GHz machine I just worked on ... not quite the resource hog that version 8 seemed to be. I use Avast on my machines that still run Windows.
It is a good idea to remove Norton before the subscription runs out to avoid the nag screens.
And, may as well leave MS Defender on there. One day, it may actually catch something! :D

Thanks Dave.
dittoThanks Dave.
Yes, while there are several good free antivirus programs, but it always amazes me how people can invest so much time and money in their computer systems, put their most sensitive information on the hard drive(s), tweak them for optimum performance and then ask what is the best FREE antivirus program!
Geez! Open up your wallet and let some of the moths out for cryin' out loud! Personally I use Trend Microsystems: http://us.trendmicro.com/us/home/
