I agree...AVG is a monster. It constantly prompts me to add more features and now I have redundancy and complexity I don't think I need!

I just spent 45 minutes on the phone with AVG and they told me they would (and did) reconfigure my AVG so it doesn't interfere with MS updates in the future. I have to take them at their word...

Also, they told me they found Chromium software on my computer...it's pretty buried, doesn't show up in list of programs or appdatalocal... It does show up in a folder under computerHKEY_USERS...software. He wanted to refer me to an expert outside their system to pay $119 for them to remove it. I declined...

Do you know anything about Chromium? It's apparently open source sw from Google than can provide an entrance for hackers? It doesn't show up in my Chrome extensions, either...

Jeesh! Thanks!!
