    There is little relationship between the paid version and success.
    Look how good AVG was before it got interested in money, and has now dropped to worthless, regardless of what Virus Bulletin says.,

    Who owns Virus Bulletin? Where do they operate. Who funds them.
    Until I see reliable reviews of Virus Bulletin, the name means nothing to me.

    I will fix this for you since your grip on grammar and the english language leave much to be desired - do you get paid incentives for using excessive commas? Who knows..

    Easily but then it's doubtful you'd be able to follow it.

    Hints for the terminally dull: Only the first line of my original post applied to AVG.

    Everything beyond the sentence including the product name "Filseclab Twister" applied to that.

    It is generally accepted form of style not to continually reiterate the same word or phrase when the relationship between the text and it's introduction has already been established.

    Continually repeating the same word or very short phrase is usually best when associated with the training of animals. This combined with the issuance of dietary enticements is the tried and proven methodology.

    The dietary approach (to the training of animals) also leads us to Pavlov's observation that "when you ring the bell, the dog salivates".

    Now see I inserted the parenthetical phrase "to the training of animals" so that you would be able to easily follow the line of reasoning to reaffirm the original subject and not have any necessity to refer back to the original text.

    I sincerely hope that you're able to now follow this and my previous post as it would just destroy my whole day if you weren't.

    Eddie, here's a couple of facts that I feel obligated to share. First allow me to share my thanks, gratitude, and joy, for your selfless act of proofreading my post. (I think all those commas were supposed to be there, get back to me on that, will ya).

    Second, your re-posting of my entire diatribe, goes on to prove my theory about learning via repetitive means, words and tasks. You see, I firmly believe that a chimpanzee could be taught to copy and paste if it were showed the process in sufficient measure.

    So then, control "c", control "v", control "c", control "v", then control "c", control "v", and finally, control "c", and control "v". So Eddie, do you think that methodology requires a highly articulate computer "scientist", or a chimpanzee?

    I'm going with chimp, or damned close to one.

    Dear Guest,

    I'm guessing you're referring to Rick's post;
    When you posted this;
    I'm thinking you may have misinterpreted my post in response to Rick's;
    as being sincere. Trust me Dear Guest, I don't do sincere very well. But, I am however, fairly competent at sarcasm!

    In any event, good lookin' out, but, since Rick was just breaking b***s, I was simply returning the favor in kind. Sometimes the joke is enhanced, if someone takes the bait, as it were. If any prank post needed a straight man recently, that was it.

    So, perhaps it might have been slightly irresponsible to feign petulance at not having, "XP Antivirus 2009" included in the study, but that doesn't make it any less funny.

    With me you get the ice cream and the spanking simultaneously, so here goes. I would like to extend an invitation to join our forum, since it seems you care. << (the ice cream) Might I offer a suggestion for a screen name, "Sherlock Holmes". << (the spanking)

    I'm not certain if this technique results in individuals that simply don't know right from wrong, but it's the only one I have, so I gotta run with it.

    LOL! I've been running NOD32 for 4 years now without a problem but this Antivirus 2009 sounds like an Angel of Mercy. I... must... have... it...

    On a more serious note I also run Avast 4.8 on two laptops and a second PC and no problems with infection at all.

    My daughter's college runs Sophos and nary a glitch or an infection.
