Hello Tech (lo tech, that's funny)
My first experience with avast! was this one, no automatic updating, red warning that would not go away unless you played with it for awhile, time after time every day. Not much really, but like I said, I'm old and don't have that much time left and don't want to go out fussing with any anti-virus program. I have other things I need to do first. Heck, just on this forum, I've spent almost 9 hours.
Thanks,
Tom
