Did Avira just take 2 steps backwards with their Suite

I have my feelings on this matter. I'm not going to continue discussing it. We just have to agree to disagree.

 

I'm not surprised in the least, Its a Wonder you can install anything anymore with the amount of swapping and changing you do, I bet the Slack space on your drive is So tight, you couldnt Squeeze the juice from a Grape to fit on it any more

 

I am not here to impress you.

 

The finest combination indeed, and I have tested most on my machine.

 

if you would keep reading I reformatted both back to their orginal condition, then removed all the crap. Both are and run like new. I am not arguing your point because over time yes you are right. But Avira has some issues now and hopefully they will resolve them. But until the put web scanning into their AV product, they are just second rate. Doesnt matter, found a nice AV that gives me the best of all worlds.

 

Hypocrite maybe? There is no "best" of all worlds.

 

Maybe I should have said."My World."

 

No problem. Just my sarcastic play on words I suppose. Hi-speed is available for me now and will be activated 9/16. I wanted this suite so bad but no go. I'm shaking for good protection and like you in a way. Would stepping down to Premium be a good choice for me?

 

I have premium installed on three XP machines. No problems.
You can go to their Web site and download the workstation version and the 30 day trial license key. I downloaded three licenses and trialled all my machines.

If you want to test the regular premium, you have to email for a trial license request.

They said the workstation is the same as premium except workstation also supports networks. Uses the same download servers. You should be able to tell if their product has issues on your machine.

If you need a firewall, you may want to look at the free Ghostwall

I would do just what berng said. Add Sandboxie, it is free and very simple but really secures you.

 

Thanks for the advice guys. I had Norton 2007 AV on here (free with NetZero dialup) and was behaving but threw on AVG free for interim till 9/18 then Verizon DSL.

 

I think with your new dsl, nortons suite will work great.

 

well, I will keep my Avira license and hopefully enjoy them again someday.

 

Although the title of this thread is somewhat non-specific, I believe trjam's original question has been adequatly addressed. Therefore it's probably as good a time as any to bring the debate to a close before it drifts off course again.
