AV Advice (help out a fellow Jupitermedian)

[phernandez]

Greetings

A shameless plea:

Help out a pal over at Datamation (http://blog.datamation.com/blog/archives/2006/02/antivirus_advic.html), please. Long story short, his Norton subscription is drawing to an end, wants to weigh his alternatives.

I know the question's been asked ad-nauseum around here, but he's asking for 'professional help' :) Go over there and post your recommendations (http://blog.datamation.com/blog/archives/2006/02/antivirus_advic.html) if you can spare a minute. I always say Avast. What say you?

[Tiger Shark]

Err.. Are you saying you recommended Avast and he doesn't trust you? ;)

I have avast on this box... I like it... AVG is acceptable too. Both are free so the price is right and neither are the system hog that Norton is...

[phernandez]

No, I'm saying that I'm TRYING to recommend it, but his blog is calling me a spammer when I try to post ;) About to fire off a terse email!

[nihil]

I say his site rules need looking at:

Your comment was rejected because it appeared to be spam.

They don't like you mentioning product names?

:rolleyes:

[Tiger Shark]

LOL... You're on his "Ignore List"... :D That sux... I'll see what I can do...



Ok, I did it... But he's moderating my post because I'm a first time poster... So he should get the message...

[phernandez]

Good work, thanks! Thought I would have to forever wear a scarlet 'S' across my chest (for spammer, not Superman - I'm not delusional) :)

[Tiger Shark]

I wear that big red "S" a lot too.... But apparently the word ends in "head"... :D

[neel]

"sex slave for rent, discount when paid ahead"

[Tiger Shark]

LOL...

That would depend entirely upon the lady... I'm much pickier now than I was when I was younger... and I actually had standards back then.... ;)

But most people use this as a single word....

Now, why do I think this thread is about to go downhill rapidly... :D

[phernandez]

... because it's Friday, and we are bored and some have one-track minds :eek:

Anyway, keep up the responses over at Datamation. He's started approving the comments. We may even set a record. Thanks!

Pedro,

Thanks for putting the word out. You're welcome on my blog anytime, even if my rules filter says differently.

And thanks for the input, AntiOnliners.

I posted a link to the AVG free D/L
tried not to mention any system by name
it went in, but has to be monitored :p

[edit]
and have just seen that the coding don't work :D

[.:front2back:.]

Howdy.

I made my comment, it's been subject to a fine investigation before it's approved for user pleasure. ;)

Anyhow when i saw the title of the thread, i giggled and thought to myself now it's time to play mind games with an administrator. :D

Bleh cheers

Behold, the awesome power of an admin...

BANNED!

LOL - I'm more of a fair-weather admin, your gracious mods do all of the heavy lifting. Unleash your wrath on them :)

[.:front2back:.]

Behold, the awesome power of an admin...

You might be an admin, but i got more green peas then you. :D

You might be an admin, but i got more green peas then you.

He could be on his third time around the track... Silly... ;)
