I haven't used AVG for more than ten years, when a weird bug caused me to act like I had tabbed out of the window while I was still in the window, so I needed an extra click to do anything. Sucked when I was playing multiplayer games.
Even though Microsoft sucks, the Security Essentials do the job.
This is the thing people that go "uninstall this thing!" or "stop using this thing!" need to start doing. Give a suggestion of what to replace it with.
And no, "LINUX" isn't a "replacement." Putting a whole new OS in just because an anti-virus program isn't great is not viable. Suggest an anti-virus program, not an entirely new OS.
Thank you for actual programs instead of yet another "just use another OS, lol" comment. I'll check on Malwarebytes since that's one that I haven't yet looked in to.
Try Spybot
I have that! Thanks

you have to add exceptions for authentification.win and patriots.win, but I am considering getting different software
Was that the $2.99 special they were running awhile back 🤔🤔 Mfs
What this post does not show is the error screen you get when going to patriots.win
And replace it with...?

LINUX
As I told the last person that tried that, that's not an option. The programs I have to use for work are not compatible with it.
"Linux" isn't the magical cure all for everything computer related when not everything is designed to run on it.
WINPATROL. If they can't F with the Registry, they can't do much to you. It's a helluva powerful tool, been using it over a decade now.
You can also get a WIN machine that is used for nothing but work, which is what I do (most of the time).
I use a few different Linux distros.......... But, let's be honest, everything in Linux takes two hours.
Windows Defender (free) + Malwarebytes. Been using for several years with no issues.

I just went through this.
Its time to bring in something patriotic. The skys the limit. Take eg from gab.
