Avira-antiVir newbie

   Leoni, sounds like a problem my parents had with their computer last year.  Their's kept running Windows Update, over and over, until the C drive became so bloated it barely worked at all.  The solution was a reformat and fresh OS install.

your friend need a hammer

LOL, or he needs me spending a couple of hours with CCleaner.
Boy, I've really deleted things now, there's hardly anything left on my C:.

ganda, are you still satisfied with Avira? Plays well with CFP 3? But you do know that when CAVS 3 arrives, you are obliged to try it.

Really? You mean it ran WU automatically? What a strange problem. I hope Avira's updating won't continue in such a cycle, then I would really have to grab CCleaner and visit my friend for an hour or two. (which I gladly do, although he would tease me for being a computer nerd )

that's the plan!
i have too much number of security software.
let see, Antivir,BOC, CFP,CMF,ST,S.blaster, DrWebCureit. by using integrated BOC+CAVS & CFP+CMF, i'm reducing 2 of them 

I have also excellent experiences from Antivir, so I installed it on a friend's system some months ago (he's also got CFP 3, upgraded from 2.4). Recently Antivir stopped working, I have no idea why so I reinstalled it for him. Then during the first updating, the progress just went over and over. A never ending circle.

huh Antivir stop working? what cycle? maybe you should just do this to your friend's comp :

LOL, now I know why some people seem to call you paranoid, I also read somewhere today that you have D+ in Paranoid mode

The last thing I saw before leaving was signatures being downloaded and installed, over and over again. The updating window could not be stopped, I had to terminate it from CFP's Active Process List (I could probably have used Task Manager but why not try CFP ).

huh? you're not? 

I don't know, I just know that my totally unskilled friend(s) have completely bloated, crappy and bad-working systems, often better hardware than me but still - slow systems compared to my rocket!! I suppose there's a reason why my system works so much better...

better save than sorry

that's unusual Antivir update window will automatically close after finishing the update process. wanna borrow my hammer?

yeah, you're definitely a comp nerd, you even name your computer 

I was glad to return home to my "rocket". Not as good hardware as my friend but waayy faster.
