I usually do OSI (
http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/online/ )
Because I have enough programs on my desktop as it is. (In my Program Files).
But I downloaded PSI for the interim, and run the scanner.
Defence against vulnerabilities returned 100% measured as 4% higher than the average user in my home city Auckland, New Zealand, and 15% higher compared with users who don't have PSI installed.
This is to be expected. The result is my usual return. Sometimes I may have an issue where I have missed an update - most times with Adobe - which I then update and run a 100% return. That said, I do seem to have an ongoing issue with Flash Player even though I am fully updated. I have not resolved this problem as it appears to be intermittent and it concerns Internet Explorer, whereas the browser that I run on this computer is Firefox. I don't whether anyone else is currently experiencing problems with Flash. I only have the problem on this computer.
Back to SP2.
Its all very well for us to have our systems up to 100% and in some cases to play amongst the many options provided through accessibility to the web, but the average user that comes to the internet is often struggling with the added requirements of participation. I have found since coming to the avast forum and taking on a few more options, I have to watch that I don't grow too far out of touch with the average users who are my client base. I still need to keep aware of what they want and do - for example, most are unwilling to give up the pages they are accustomed to, advertisements and all, what they are starting to call their 'full view' experience
view. The kind of page view that is returned to my screen, they are simply not interested in.
Granted, they all get SP3 and auto updates. They have no choice in that regard.
BTW - my favorite movie at the moment is "Our Town' (1940) from the play (and screenplay) by Thornton Wilder.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032881/ My latest movie download. I cant recall the site I downloaded from, Archive something or other I think. (And some more recent film -

I haven't as yet taken up offers for wider access to recent movies from commercial sites. I have enough on board as it is.
