Can it be recommended? Also should | I download anything else (bearing in mind I can only get DialUp in this | area). You would be *much* better off using a combination of Avira AntiVir and Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html Multi-AV - http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp

How many is many? Works really well here. Barely notice it. Most of the users I know have switched to MSE from Avira or Avast. Many report problems with Avast and Avira putting a load on the system when used in combination with malwarebytes.

While I have not read of this in these exact words, I am not surprised to hear this. Phoning home too much, I would think and more.
