You read too much, and believe, that what you read is the only truth.

 HG> After noting that it is a viable upgrade, I didn't waste any time to

 HG> The problems I've had, are related to moving to new programs ......

I never leave any amount of messages in the InBox. The most I've had
there where over 1700, after my ISP account had been idle four years,
but they were quickly cleared out. Now there are less than 10.

EV> If You are speaking of MALWAREBYTES, they have a Free and a Paid

Yes I think that was the one, but I removed it when it told me that the
end of the free evaluation period had ended.

EV> Recently I read that AVAST! owns AVG now.
EV> Have You read about that too?

No, I have better things to do, than reading all sorts of gossip.
