El Reg seeks top net neologism

Joakim Gabrielsen

There are only a few good ones, so many more bad ones

AVG slaps Trojan label on core Windows file

AVG 8.0

8.0 fatter, slower and less user friendly than 7.5. And it has a nasty habit of interfering with applications using MS SQL Server. I had too remove AVG from my office workstation when that happened. Now I've purchased Avast! which has no fancy extras, it just sits there in the tray, doing its job requiring very little resources. It has what I need, nothing more, nothing less.

Oh, and Paris and her boys finally look like themselves again. Good on you.
