I have NO idea what you’re talking about. 80’s retro? ;-)
I just know my computer hasn’t crashed in over a year with constant use.
But with Norton, I was in a tizzy every other couple of months.
I have had to uninstall and reinstall WINDOWS many times....
soooooo, to me it’s a pleasure to use this Vista laptop protected by AVAST now.
But, I have the idea my problem was Norton, not Windows.
Reason being, I use Windows on this laptop and have had no problem.
Now to me, it was either the anti virus program or Windows giving me aggravation. ;-)
I personally think it was the Norton program. So, I’m happy with the program, AVAST.
I have seen Avira, but know nothing about it. And you’re the first person that’s mentioned it to me. ;-)
