Re-arrange these letters into a well known brand name, CHT.

I seem to get on ok with Avira Antivir and it mostly just sits in the background.

The only thing is it sticks 1 pop up add on each day at a certain time but you just click it off and soon get used to it.

Im sure there would be a way of disabling the add but i haven't looked into it.

Look here.

So let's just pretend that this thread doesn't exist and I'll crawl away very quietly, and no one will know I've been here......   

Anyone seen Kate today?   

[Rik]

Not me. 

[Simon]

I thought I heard something, but it couldn't have been her.

Look here.

Cheaper if you take out longer or multiple licences, Baz.

0 bytes? Odd... You could try the MS offering on the lappy.

Oh, I forgot about the lappy. Well, not forgot about it as I'm using it........   

What was the MS offering, Rik?

I have Avast on this as well. It did come with a free Norton Subscription which I couldn't get rid off, but Michael found a way of stopping it in start up.

Another essential is CCleaner is you haven't already got it. 

 Hi Cam, thanks for those. I have CCleaner, downloaded the latest version the other night.

Haven't tried Avira, but it sounds good. Avast has a pop up thing every time it updates, which is everyday. It annoys me on the laptop as I haven't figured out how to turn the sound off. "Virus database has been updated". It's a female with an American accent, grrrr.

I think it's only available with Vista & 7.

I don't remember clicking the "pop up" today so i'm assuming Dave's instructions on disabling it worked

I use online armour which includes anti virus and firewall
Backed up by Malwarebytes and Super anti spyware

They seem to do a fantastic job

Rod may disagree with you there, Dave.
