    Astral Foxy the article goes into a bit more detail than simply giving a company your credit card details to purchase something. Heck, it didn’t even mention the whole WiFi Sense debacle. I mean, would you like someone visiting your house to be able to share access to your WiFi with all of their Facebook, Outlook and Skype contacts, without your knowledge? Really?

    I will never ever use any Microsoft products even all gold from Fort Knox is offered, since had a very bad experience of virtually some one taking over my computer after upgrading to Win 10… traumatic experience. Learnt Linux and changed the machine environment.

    I have a client who’s computer has been running slow, when client purchase the computer it came preload with a lot of bloated ware, including McAfee. I found that McAfee was running a lot in the background and i turn it off and uninstall it. However I wanted to recommend some anti-virus software, but i can’t separate the good from the bad. I wanted to know if there is any good anti-virus software that’s good for an i3 laptop, and doesn’t take up to much computing power. Thanks in advance, if you know something good let me know.

    Alan Stainer I totally agree with you.i use it as well. I wanted to give my client a range of opinion so they would limited to one opinion. Speaking of i wanted to see if people used anything else besides what Malware bytes. Nevertheless i was hoping people would tell me more about bitdefender,ESET NOD32 or anything else they were using.
