When I went to the websites for AVG and Avira, I wasn’t bothered with pop-ups. I just downloaded the programs. The only problem came at the end of the installation when Avira locked up the laptop.
But both are installed. It takes a few minutes longer to boot up, but if that means the programs are working, that’s fine with me. I don’t like viruses and in the last three weeks, I’ve had two, which is surprising, because I use DuckDuckGo for my search engine and I haven’t been to any sites that are not normally visited by me.
One virus was a Trojan, so no telling where that came from. I just know that once I shut down and went to a restore point, things were OK. But the second one is when I asked for help. So thanks, guys!
Two anti-virus programs will get along about as well as you and the Klingon. I suggest you pick one and uninstall the other.
