| 1276024 | 2012-05-18 05:47:00 | That was aimed at AVG mostly, I haven't installed Avast for almost a year so I can't claim to know what it includes these days. But I was referring to the web based scanning options that in my experince slow things down and make browsing less enjoyable, and I think AVG wanted to install a toolbar last time I tried it but I could be wrong there too. Maybe we can just pretend I didn't say anything about crapware and just go with MSE being less intrusive and more popular. To be honest I just prefer MSE since switching to it and haven't bothered with the other free ones since. I did use both prior to MSE. As far as what does the best job it seems to change regularly but MSE always score well amongst the free ones tested in reviews I've seen. Silly comment but I miss the Avast voice telling me the database has been updated occasionally.I havent installed since I dont know when, but I can tell you according to my books I've uninstalled it 8 times in the last fortnight lol. ah, that voice drives me insane when I hear it, nearly as bad as opening incredimail and everytime it says "WELCOME" loudly :D |

| 1276025 | 2012-05-18 06:21:00 | That's right LL, XP timed for 9am daily. Speedy recommended unistalling Avast and this has certainly speeded up the boot-up time. Lurking. Thank you Lurking, nice to have some back up on that. MSSE updates on boot up on my machine, but causes no perfomance probs. LL |
