[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 97327, post: 1037740"] After watching your test (thanks [USER=92939]@Shadowra[/USER] (y)), I decided to move from Avast AV Free to Avast One Free on my wife's laptop. Over the top install went fine, with following remarks: 1. I had free firewall module installed, but that firewall was disabled (needed to enable again) 2. Settings of basic shields were remembered, the network inspector had forgotten its settings 3. Avast One has a very limited free (5MB) VPN offer and the VPN now seems to be an integral part (have not figured out how to uninstall it). 4. Free firewall of ONE seems to have less functionality as the 'older' Free AV version, same with network inspector 5. Startup of MsEdge felt a little slower EDIT: for fun I did a over the top install of Avast Free over Avast One and got back the old Avast Free with all my settings saved (with extra "strict" option in both ransomware protection and firewall and the "monitor network" option in network inspector) and yes startup of Edge felt a little faster again ???
