Both are freeware.
I couldn't say whether Malwarebytes is better or worse than than AVG, it's just what I have, and I've found it easy to use.
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, I see. I didn't realise there was a lower-featured free version. Assuming that those extras aren't something to miss?

What would be the easiest way to save certain voicemails on our house phone permanently?

Get a recording device and tape it when it plays on speakerphone.

Thanks, Le Nubian. I think we have a tape recorder somewhere, but I was hoping for better sound quality than that will produce without having to buy new equipment. Like a way to transfer it directly to my computer.

You can probably also record it on a cellphone or a microphone connected to your computer. Not many home phones will have outputs that go directly into a computer, but without knowing what sort you have, it's impossible to say.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Thanks, ita. I'll look into that when I get home and am near the actual phone.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Yeah. Provide more details. You might be able to do a 3-way call to google voice and record too.

Coding and Sleeping
I've heard Paint.Net is a pretty good graphics program that's free and not an obtuse as Gimp. I don't use it myself since I use Gimp.

Hey. New board.
Paint.net is my favorite graphics program on Windows for exactly that reason - I can give it to my middle school students and they can survive, but it's also powerful enough to do basically anything I know how to do on the Gimp or in Photoshop. Which isn't to say it can even scratch the surface of those programs, but it has layers and can do some moderately cool stuff with them.
