Hi, folks!
Just installed Avast Free Version 5.0.594, THANKS!
That's after removing Avira Free AV program, on my year 2000 Dell Optiplex GX-110 > P3-847Mhz, 384 Mb SDRAM, Matsu 80GB HDD, XP-Pro SP3, with Online Armor Pro 4.0.0.15, Super-Antispyware & Malwarebytes on a 56K dialup connection [all that's available].
This computer described may sound like a slow old dinosaur but in fact it's notably faster than the HP Pavilion 2.8Gb sitting right here next to it! Just got finished dumping the garbage out of that one and tuned it up for a friend and my old Dell desktop is still much faster!
Computer is 2 to 3 times faster on the internet with Avast!. It got so slow before that I would open forum pages in a new window just so I wouldn't have to wait the extra 15-30 seconds for a page transition back to main after reading! Startup is much faster, opening programs is faster. E-mail downloads quicker.
I had some continual problems with Avira but they may have been because of Online Armor, that the 2 programs conflict? Don't know, but Avast! sure works great for me now. We'll see what happens after it has loaded a few updates, if it gets bloated or not?
So for now, instead of complaints here's a CONGRATULATIONS Avast!, great Antivirus so far! Thanks!
Spectacle
