I understand the concept of “the cloud.” Does it sound like I don’t know anything about computers? But I don’t want a cloud hanging over my head all the time. I’ve used Avast for years and years, since it was a baby company and just getting started. But, now, every time the program updates, I have to go to Control Panel > Uninstall > Change, then take off the latest bloat ware from Avast. Now, this continual connection. Maybe it’s what others want and like, but I want a program that does its job, unobtrusively, and doesn’t constantly annoy me.
Since my last post, I uninstalled Avast (and left a lot of trash on my computer and in the registry). I’m trying BitDefender. Initial impression is very positive. It actually connected for an update, then closed the connection! What a concept! I don’t have a huge desktop gadget. I don’t have bloatware taking up RAM.
You all have fun under your cloud. I don’t want it.
Thanks for your replies, though!
