Re: Spectrogram download site and Virus issues

[Bill K9YEQ]

I suggest using MS Security Essentials, or in Win 8, Windows Defender which
is built in.  All the other stuff is bloat ware and will not stop a desktop
infection when clicking on free stuff or "fixes" for you PC.  Good luck!

Get rid of the virus called Norton Anti-Virus. Install the free version of
Avast or AVG. That'll do it, and protect you as well. Also use
Malawarebytes.

PS: No pecuniary interest in Avast, AVG, or Norton. Norton is a problem for
many, not a cure.

A few days ago I stopped using both the Microsoft products on several
machines here after Microsoft unexpectedly "baselined" both Defender and
Essentials and gave several interviews disclosing they did not match the
performance of packages by other vendors.  You might want to take a look at
what the Microsoft spokesman said.  It was certainly a shock to me, and I
received an even greater shock when I looked at recent test results. Even
the free AVG and Avast products ran rings around Essentials and Defender.  I
am going to paste in a link, but if it does not work you can search on
"Microsoft Admits That Security Essentials Is Just a Basic Anti-Virus
Product" which brings up the Softpedia report on the Microsoft statement.
