    Is anyone crying yet?

    I must be one of the lucky ones as I have not had those sort of issues with w10, so far found it to be pretty good. It started off a bit iffy with smb comms with my nas drive (just could not browse to it using mapped drives) but that has been fixed now. With AVG the only thing it tries to get...

    Not sure thats 100% correct. Reading various tech sites regarding testing av software on computers deliberately infected shows that some find the viruses where as others do not. They may all have access to the same global dB but they all must copy from this global dB to there own specific db...

    Have a look at this site that tests AV software https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/home-windows/windows-10/ Windows Defender is okay but not the best, in fact its at the bottom of the list, I'd go with one of the better free ones such as Avast

    Never really found an issue them being resource hogs, the only one I would say was very bad was Norton, I've been using AVG for last x years and that's pretty good, but you can't only rely on them as Zoro has said.

    I've always used a second AV on windows just for piece of mind (although back in the day Windows own AV was just an afterthought) , the link I posted lists free ones, so why not install one?

    However by then the OS in the cradle people will be out of date and the way people work will have changed so much that they are now the people that are struggling to change. It will always be the case, my parents struggled with VHS recorders, I grew up with them and it was easy to work with...

    Hi LD, You said you did a test on AV software for work, I'd be insterested if you could post a bit more on your findings? I've been using AVG for a while now, but if there is a better AV out there I'd be keen to know. Cheers

    Hi, Just read this post, you also need to ensure you have firewall software running (if it's not included on your BT hub), this will stop your PC being "attacked" from the internet, a good free one is Zone Alarm. Also I find AVG 8.0 is a very good free AV software suite. Steve
