[QUOTE="Chuck57, post: 1063513, member: 75774"] Yes, I've been here a while, and read the forum every day, posting when I find something of interest or that maybe I can comment on - which explains my low number of posts. Reading and an occasional post does not make me an expert. I don't do software or malware testing, nor do I delve into the innards of software looking for that magical tweak that will make this antivirus or that firewall invincible to malware. I don't write firewall rules to allow or disallow this or that because I've never done it, or cared to learn how. I just want what I install on my laptop to work with the minimal amount of fuss possible. The rest of my time is spent working on crap novels that nobody wants to read, or surfing, arguing on one of several social sites, or researching something. So,, yes, I'm one of those average users. If I had to ask here how to do something, how is that different from grandpa or grandma having grandchild set up their computer and install some kind of security program? I note that besides Comodo, there are similar comments in various antivirus threads regarding setting the AV up for grandpa. Should gramps NOT use an av because he doesn't understand it?
