Grime Removal??

[Jesse Williams]

I do scan on our computers almost every day with Avast! It has detected Grime on my sisters' Win 7 Laptop. I'm not sure about mine yet. Since, I don't have the premium version of Avast!, it will not remove the grime. Anyone know how to remove it?

 

[Boozad]

Is it Grime or GrimeFighter? Have a read of this.

I know your Sister has been having problems with her Computer .. Install the same Programs on her Computer as you have .. Then do a a full System Scan ...

 

[Jesse Williams]

Okay. Boozad, I will take a look. Maxie, yes. Its the same computer. The only difference is that hers came with an Intel processor.

 

[Jesse Williams]

I did a full scan, and avast! removed whatever had theirs' messed up. So, maybe its okay. Intel is a better processor any ways. AMD is not. AMD is more gaming, as most people say. Mine has an AMD processor.

Well, I'm putting Panda back on the Win 7 laptops. Avast! can stay on the 8.1 desktop, since Panda doesn't work as smoothly on it.

Panda does not seem a bad choice ... I have been using F-Secure on Windows 8 ...

 

[Boozad]

I'd go for MS Security Essentials.

I have F-Secure on all of my machines.

 

[Jesse Williams]

Is F-Secure free?

 

[maxie]

No I got it Free with my ISP though ..

 

[Jesse Williams]

Oh okay. Well, should I continue using avast on the 8.1 compute? I don't like MSE or Windows Defender. They don't seem as protective as other antivirus programs. Plus, I read where they got a bad rating recently.

 

[Boozad]

There's nothing wrong with MSE or Defender, I've used that on my 8.1, 10TP and a Vista install.

 

[Jesse Williams]

Okay

It is all down to Personal taste many say Avast is good ... I have never used it you have and have not had any bother with it really .. As for MSE i do use that on my Windows 7 Computer and never have had any trouble so far .. I think the main thing regarding any Programs is down to the user .. Watch where you go on the Internet and what you click on including Emails .. Any thing i Download i always Scan before use some times i even upload Files to Virus Total ... I also do not believe in Reviews ...

Okay
