[QUOTE="Captain Holly, post: 932045, member: 90494"] I downloaded Avast Free today, so far it seems to be very good. On my system Avast uses about the same ram as WD did. So far just as [USER=89360]@McMcbrad[/USER] pointed out it has only offered me to upgrade to some of the paid Avast utilities but only when I clicked the alerts for them. It also offered a free trial of the Premium AV and a free trial of the Cleanup Premium service, both of which I declined. I have yet to see a blue upgrade circle on my task bar but it could show up later. I did download the Avast Secure Browser, it seems about the same as Chrome with less extensions but I don't know if I will use it very much. I may try it for online banking just to check it out. All the modules in Avast seem to be pretty useful, browsing is a bit faster and so far there are no slowdowns with transferring files. I have the AV set at default settings. I bought an album from mp3million.com, it is 10 songs, 104 MB at 320 kbps and it downloaded and unzipped in about 30 seconds. I copied and moved around a few albums worth of MP3's as a test, all is good there. I will use Avast for a while and see how it works out. So far it's not bad at all. The ads and upsell tactics are not nearly as aggressive as I remember from 2016. Thanks Very Much to everyone who replied and helped me on this. I had no idea about the new Avast/AVG until I read about it here on MT a few days ago. Cpt. Holly [ATTACH type="full" alt="1614126952255.png"]254542[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
