[02:21] <hads> Do people still use AVG as a free Antivirus for Windows? A family member asked me to put something on their new computer and I have no idea.
[03:09] <Atamira> i use the free antivirus program from trent for windows.
[03:09] <Atamira> or use a firewall
[03:26] <G> hads: I personally recommend the Micrsoft Security Essentials which appears to work okay
[03:27] <G> two advantages to that, 1) You can play the 'Blame Microsoft, not me for suggesting a company you've never heard of', and 2) it works not too bad :)
[07:04] <hads> Thanks guys, very helpful. A couple others recommeded Microsoft Security Essentials too so I installed that, seems to work.
[07:04] <hads> Last time I used Windows was about 13 years ago. I'm not sure why people still ask me to fix their computer - I don't know what I'm doing.
[07:16] <kcj> Exactly.

[21:41] <mwhudson> gwrc's website is fairly entertaining
[21:41] <mwhudson> i suspect notepad.exe is involved in updating it
[21:43] <G> morning
[21:44] <G> looks okay here, but someone might want to tell them that word wrapping works better in some instances
[21:46] <mwhudson> it's just full of out dated pages and broken links and feels a bit like it's half a CMS
[21:46] <mwhudson> and the part of it that serves up live data is broken
[21:46] <G> ahhh right
