I do not normally send you files! If someone sends you a file that does not normally send you things, send them an email asking them if they did. If not it could be a virus or trojan or whatever! Engage that brain and alot of stuff will be avoided! |

Any time someone makes an unequivocal statement like that--that something is the best--readers should be *extremely* skeptical. I also like Avast, have it running on all my computers here, and recommend it to others. I've never had an issue with it either. But I haven't tried every anti-virus program on the market, and I'm therefore not willing to state that it's the "best." So today I use and recommend Avast. But I'm always open to other possibilities, and willing to try others, and am open to the possibility that tomorrow I may find something that I think is better. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP - Windows Desktop Experience Please Reply to the Newsgroup |
