"David French" I also use AVG Anti-Spyware which 'mops up' any odd cookies and exe files that get saved with Emails and temporary data. I employ the free "Cookie wall" http://www.analogx.com/contents/down...ork/cookie.htm every cookie that arrives, you can keep, delete, or save. I have clicked links on this NG that have come with as many as 10 cookies. |

wrote in message Ever try turning off real-time protection and gaining some needed speed with that old beastie you have? Hah! I have just shelled out $80 for a P4 3.4Ghz 1000mb ram, 40Gb Hdd and $90 for a 18" Liquid Crystal display monitor, I will soon be cutting edge Now all I have to do is get comfortable with XP. Like Ralphael, I am leaving my comfort zone for a while. Still on the hunt for a top class Duplex ADF scanner. |

"David French" I hope you gave them a proper dunking!! :-) David. My word yes, one of the bad, (but delightful) habits I brought out to the Swan River Colony. Aussie cookies are inferior, and tend to break and dive back in the coffee....not good. |

You'll find a few oddities with AVG. When it updates, it locks the machine until it is finished. Same when it boots up along with the 5 tons of other 'required' -=startup=-. Updates will often alter your preferences and in my case, it keeps turning OFF email scanning! Well, for Free... one can abide by a few quirks. :^) I'm using both AVG "Free" and Computer Associates. |

Not my point, rather that new users often become upset when the program 'takes over' and they can not do anything! More than half the people I've had try AVG, have dumped it for that reason, believing that it is 'damaging' their computer. Nuttin' and Macunfree do their best in the 'help line' to encourage this belief. After you posted this, I checked on it and AVG does temporarily "lock up" the store. I can also understand why, even though it is a nuisance. In order to update properly, snag all the resources so that nobody else can corrupt the process. If said snagging goes on for a "long time", however, that can be a major annoyance. On my newer PC it seems negligible. I guess that shows with older PCs far more... |

My settings are the same as the day I installed it & I can keep using any software at the same time as downloading the update(s) in the background! David. |
