That is a crock i know many uses who run more then one you just don't run them at the same time shows how little experience you have read my signature I have been a A++ tech for 25 years and build sell service and consult for computers owners and buyers. I have done many things the idiot techs you see at geek squad ect say you cant do this or cant do that. Just like back in the day when my self and 200 others were beta testing road runner high speed online for time warner cable, we wrote the book on it in the state of Maine. and a tech said you cannot have 2 or 3 browsers on you're system and have each set up to use a different ISP for each one . I had one set to use road runner and the other to use my dial up back up ISP. I said get a cup of coffee and ill show you how its done. I then became the head tech for the team and got many awards for the stuff i taught them that the time warner techs said you cant do this its not in our books. Knowledge is power Lean it use it You are only supposed to run one AV program on your computer -- AL'S COMPUTERS 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. |

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.

You're first problem was you used McAfee software the company with the worst reputation in the business. so you're BS is you're own ignorance. I wouldn't use McAfee products if you GAVE them to me. 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? |

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.

That is a crock i know many uses who run more then one you just don't run them at the same time 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! |

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. |
