I've been using free Avast, but I'd be curious to know if there's anything better.
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

There's always Microsoft Security Essentials. It's very unobtrusive.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
I use MSE, too, and like it. The only thing is that I'm not sure if they still call it that. It might be Windows Defender now.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I've been using Sophos, pretty happy with it.

Looks like MSE is available for Windows 7. Windows Defender (the same thing for the most part) is included with Windows 8 and 10.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I use the Windows Defender that came with Win10, but I also use Malwarebytes.

What would cause my ip address to think I'm in Canada?
IP geolocation is a bit inexact. There could incorrect data in the database.
traceroute might tell you some interesting stuff.
Who does the internet think manages your IP address?

Interesting thing tonight. I checked a couple different places. I got:
- Freemont, CA (wrong)
- Pomona, CA (closer, but wrong)
- Los Angeles (well, county, yes, city, no)
- Long Beach, CA (practically right, my lil city is a pimple in the middle of Long Beach)
- Unavailable
- and the ahem site still says Canada
- Speedtest by Ookla correctly identifies Frontier Communications, but says location is Los Angeles.
Trace route said Frontier in Pomona.

I haven't heard much about Apple's recent event, yesterday. That doesn't seem like a good sign that they did anything very interesting.

Spoken just like someone who still uses function keys, and has more than one kind of port on his computer.
I also bet you still use a land-line telephone, watch VHS tapes, and mount Clovis points on your spears, rather than the obviously superior Folsom point.
