I guess it's true that on Usenet you can be anyone you'd like to be. In your
case, Andy, you're really taking that to heart. Most of the folks here in
the Win 8 group don't know you, or at least don't know most of your
background, but boy howdy is most of that stuff above a crock of BS.

Things could have been worse, though. You could have mentioned your dual
degrees from Harvard and Yale, your ownership of multiple homes, and on and
on. You have years and years of history in the RR newsgroup, going back
10-15 years or more. Remember the 'problem' you had with the lady who worked
in the Sprint kiosk? Classic.

Most people here probably have no idea that you work the night shift at a
little mall in Maine and that you only post late at night when they leave
the office unlocked because you don't have a computer at home. That's OK,
there's really nothing wrong with that, at least until you start adding on
the fluff like the A+ certification or the PC stuff. You know, the made up
stuff.

Grab your mop. That place ain't gonna clean itself.

With all your vast experience and wealth I am surprised that you have
not yet learned to use a spelling checker. Your credibility is zero
when you write like an elementary school dropout. You don't appear to
be the sharpest tool in the shed, Andy. Boasting like that makes you
look foolish or worse. I also call Bull****!

McAfee SiteAdvisor was the first tool of it's kind AFAIK. And, it was
also "recommended monthly in many pc magazines". Isn't that your
standard? So, I guess you are smarter that McAfee SiteAdvisor, right?
Because you test THOUSANDS of websites like McAfee does to see if they
are safe, right?

You claim that you are some kind of computer tech? Laughable.

If you read my post to Andy from yesterday you will see that I use WOT
now. But several years ago, probably about 10 now, Site Advisor was the
only tool of it's kind, that I know of. Now there are many tools that
rate websites.

Do McAfee test thousands of sites before they receive reports from
users? They didn't when I used them years ago. The only thing I
remember now is it was a pain removing the software from a new PC. I
would not use Mcfee again.

SiteAdvisor is a browser add-on.

When you have to have a special tool to uninstall a program, me no like.
McAfee doesn't have a good reputation compared to other programs and is
a resource hog. Free Avast is better.

The point of having AV software is to catch the virus as it enters your
computer, before it has a chance to do any damage. That means running
the AV s/w in the background.

If you do not want real-time protection, you can run as many scans with
as many different programs as you like -- AFTER you've been infected!

A strong ditto!

....and perhaps after its damage has been done!

As long as you check for viruses *before* you run the file, you
should be ok. Continually checking all your files for malware is
wasting resources.

As I've already mentioned, SiteAdvisor is a *browser add-on*. And IMO,
Panda is a better AV program than Avast. Speaking of resource hogs, that
is exactly what Avast has become. At least it was the last time I used
it 2 years ago.
