Question
Doug,
Could you give me some advice on which product to get?
I used to have Norton,it worked good but it slowed things down so I let it expire.
Now I have Avast(free).
Its OK but I still got an annoying CiDpop thing I cant get rid of.
Should I go to a store and BUY something,or can I still get away with the free stuff?
If I di buy something,which one should I get? Thanks!

Answer
Hi,
I used Avast for years. I liked it. Im using Bitdefender now. Its a all in one. my first. I like it.

I thought cidpop was a caller ID thingie in Outlook?
Whats your problem with it?
Avast is a great program. It should work great for you. Ive not heard of many unsatisfied users.

Also you can head over to a great Forum for advice.
I visit there alot and they are good people.
Its MajorGeeks.com.
They have superb help with Adware and Malware removal.

Hope this helps.
