Notice Windows Defender is now running along side Avast after the latest update:

After another requested re-boot, Defender is now OFF:

Please note, of the 5 computers I currently have running Windows 10,
One is on version 1511 and uses Avast for protection,
One is running Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview build 14328 protected by Avast.
The other 1 64 bit and 2 32 bit computers refuse to update unless Avast is totally removed.

I got tired of waiting for my Lumia 640 LTE to receive the Win 10 Mobile upgrade. I installed the mobile Insider app and told it to get the latest build. What I got was version 1511 build 10586.107. As far as I could tell this is not a preview build but rather the release build for Lumia phones. I then went back into the Insider app and left the Preview program and switched to production updates. It then suggested I search for updates and I received 1511-10586.218. So far so good but I notice , in my usage, very little difference from the Windows Phone 8.1 Denim that the phone came with. The biggest difference is that now I have the mobile Edge browser instead of IE. The mail program is a little different and I have 3 Office apps, Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. Cortana is different too but since I only use that for searches without the voice function, there's no difference for me. There are substantial differences from Phone 8.1 but I don't really use many of the new functions.

I'm assuming I will not be receiving any preview builds now but will only get  normal updates and the full Redstone build when it is released. That's how I want it so I'm satisfied.

End of a free update soon http://betanews.com/2016/05/05/windows-10-free-upgrade-offer-ending/
My rumor mill tells me that this is only going to be the end of this offer, an extension for a free conversion
will most likely be extended. :)

Well whatever... run this anyways: https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10
Selling your meta-data is the name of the game for M$ now, else why offer Windows-10 for free.
Keep some sort of control with this free tool which just can be run and does not even have to be installed.

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!

In my opinion, not needed.
