I would just like to say as a user of an older operating system 98 S.E I have found Avast not just an easy program to use, but also have experienced 100% fault free installations and updates, unlike other vendors.
AVG has had more than a few defectors since the release of Version 8… Seems that, like Norton, they’ve gotten sloppy with their code and procedures… And it seems that testing is a luxury in their minds or some of the problems they’re having wouldn’t happen…[/i]
Yes, quite true - I think avast and avira would have seen quantum jump in their users, since AVG 8. I am one of them… ;D AVG8 currently is IMO worse than Norton Internet Security even. Since a couple of months I am happy to report that other than a few FPs, I have had no issues with avast and this forum is much much better than AVG’s.
[i]My Norton ship sailed six or seven years ago… Got to be to bulky, clunky and really burned system resources not to mention the constant re-connects and other things it did… >:(
I’ve been hearing nothing good about AVG 8.0 and I also know some (formerly) avid AVG users who have switched to AVAST! over the past few months…
Don’t get me started on the AVG (Free) Forum… ;)[/i]
Nope, I had a funny feeling that it was AVG, and the forums, well enough said, that rdsok mod could be very rude, many of those helpers would just copy and paste the same old scripts time after time.
If someone with next to no PC knowledge asked a question you were bound to receive this (blue text) most times, didn’t take me too long to find one either…
You didn’t provide us all the information that we need to help you. Read PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING - AVG Forum How to Ask for Help, provide all of the information mentioned in that post so that we may help you properly.
In it’s day, it was a very stable operating system, particularly the second edition. But what would bring down just the program or service In XP or Vista would bring down the entire OS in 9x/ME.
