There can only be 10 poll choices, and 2 more stickies would be way too many. These are here to try and stop new threads from cropping up every other day (Y)

F-Prot...  NOTHING (Even the AVGFree lol) can stand up to F-prot's superior functionality...  and it's licnesing (which comes to $10 USD per license to start) can't be touched by anybody, Even AVG (not free).

Exactly... AVG's not a good choice at all... been there, tried that... it's real time scan/autoprotect is sh!t too... Im tellin you... spend $50, get the 5 licenses of F-prot, and give them to yoru family... ;) :lol: in the end, they'll love you.

Changing course alittle, ClamWin is FAR better than AVG... and if you're really ThAT cheap then you need to at least be using ClamWin.

Honesty is the only policy... it's not the nice one, and it's not always the best, but it's the only one I believe in. Some things can't be sugered up... and even when they can I refuse to.

In hindsite (for him), nieveness is going to be a b!tch lol... ;)

BTW, Im not attacking you... but by being close minded you're really going to hurt yourself in the end. And as far as even speed goes, F-Prot doesn't slow anything down... at all... not liek SAV/NAV, AVG, or McGAyfee...

sav doesn't slow anything down, nav does.

Actually, I moved from NAV to SAV 3 years ago. I was very pleased with how much faster things got moving to SAV. However, 3 months ago I moved to F-Prot, and things got even faster.

Not sure what to tell you, but I've seen the light ;) lol... not to mention (since I wasn't using free/stolen/warez versions of SAV) the savings I get going down to udner $10/license.

I've always used Norton because.. Well, because I just always have. But am getting peeved at paying ??? for consumer level protection each year. A lot of people are suggesting NOD32 to me, so if it's free - I'll give it a try next time I reformat a spare PC.

      $80 or 90%, anything else would be financial suicide one way or another.

      Or... just use Bitwarden. Free, and has on-prem option as well. Works both on desktop and mobile, wherever you are. The age of local password files is over.

      I actually got to use one of those so called "backup codes" once. It was for a customer, I choose the backup code option, and by the grace of god, they actually hade them printed out. Imagine my surprise, when after using the backup code, Google then told use we had to enter a code they just sent to the gmail address we currently did not have access to. I was not amused, Google backup codes should be the end all get out of jail free card, because you had to have access to the account to even get them.

      On the topic of being locked out of a service. Recently two different friends of mine got locked out of their Google accounts. Both were hack attempts and one of them is waiting 30 days before he can get back in. He had backup codes and MFA but not a passkey. It was a browser token hack. Anyhow he has to wait 30 days for the dispute or whatever to end. The other person only had a password and is screwed losing all of the email, docs and years of photos. Google won’t help her at all. Her fault because she had no backup/recovery setup. Enable passkeys if possible. Also do NOT use browser based password managers. If using a cloud service make sure it is one you can fully sync to one of your devices so you can back it up. Like a PC or Mac with some backup drive plugged into it. Google is the worst to use IMHO. You can’t sync your photos at all. You have to use the “Take Out” service which is manual and takes days. That service strips the meta data from your photos. Also Google Docs synced to a device are useless without a Google accounts. MS Office/Libre Office is not going to open a link to a Google doc to a dead account.
