Well, you didn't really ask that in your first post in order for him to give you the advice...
But you notice he was quick to give it anyhow and not just as his opinion but as the only way it can be, complete with his pet expert.
I seems I opened an ugly can of worms when I titled my post as "Security software that will work with Avast.", I should have titled it "Security software that I have used with Avast.".
All I expected when I started this thread was for others to post the software that they have used with Avast, the "well I had trouble with that one, but this one works for me" and "I may try that one and I've been using this one" type of tread.
I've been messing around with computers since the early days of DOS and PCs had no sound but beeps and the only color was the tint of the monochrome monitor. The only thing two things that have not really changed is that 1: No software will run right with every combination of hardware and other software and 2: No software is final, they will always push a "improved" version out, be it just added bells and whistles or a complete recode, that and the new version is not always better than the last one.
This has all left a bitter taste in my mouth, I've even held utility software support forms up as an example to the video game forums as how people can post and expect helpful advise without being taken to task, I see that was only because I had not posted of late.
Those of you who attempted to control the madness and be the forum members I remember so well, I thank you and truly don't know how you keep your sanity. As for myself, I am first going to contact the forum moderator and see if I can have this thread removed and secondly I will think long and hard before ever attempting to open another thread on any forum.
