Except I really have come to think it was AVG :-)

But either way, I'm not planning to go back there at the moment.

Anyway, the message that I hated most was the one that pops up *at
boot time* telling me every single time what I already knew about
protections I didn't enable and so forth. They included some
things that I had no reason to want, IMO.

Maybe it was Avira Antivirus. I used that one for some years, but they
kept ramping up the advertising until I just couldn't take it any more.
Avast manages to keep it under my pain threshold.

I used AVG for a while, too. It caused me problems, but I don't
remember what they were.

Yeah, I got pretty tangled in remembering which problems went with which
AV program, plus there was doubtlessly a liberal dose of PEBCAK
sprinkled in :-)

I recalled later yesterday that one of them dinged me with a false
positive, which I didn't like, for some reason.

PCWorld, I think it was, or else PC Magazine, really likes Kaspersky,
and IIRC, they have a 30-day free trial...
