Hey Techorinos!

The free anti-virus I've been using (AVG) is about to make me start paying them. Any suggestions (besides "a Mac") on what else I should get?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

AVG's not making me pay--did you read all the little text?

Woe to the fucking wicked.

They're getting rid of secondary profiles, so there will only be able to be one queue per account.

Ah. Well, that's a shame. It will muddy up the process for people with kids (for example.)

Yes, my sister is not going to be happy about this at all. However, I am because the fact that you couldn't delete a profile once it was created was driving me crazy.
