I had Avast last year, I can't say if it was good or bad, this year I wanted to try BitDefender, but they want me to sign up, and I don't want more junk mail, I just want a freeware AV, that it also low system usage, and not just spyware

 

Get yourself a free email account with a browser interface, like gmail especially for junk mail and use it to register your software and get any startup key etc. that might be needed.

 

My favorite AV is Linux. It's free, and requires no sign-up.

 

Both suggestions are good, I need an email for junk too

I installed Bitdendender, and then while trying to uninstall it, I broke it. ,I tried the tool, and it failed too. Now they want me to contact them to fix, uninstalling it. Screw that, It's not that I distrust them, it's just annoying, and not necessary.

I think I'll try Linux on my old PC, if it's as simple as some of the versions look now a-days, I'll be golden.

 

So there's no LTSpice for Linux ? I use it since it's free and often recommended. So what are some good Linux options ? I used to buy videogames, so I could buy a program like this if needed.

I was just getting into LTSpice, using more commands. How similar are other "spice" programs to learn and use ?

 

Run LTSPice on Wine. It works fine.

 

Ah thanks, right when I need it

I use the free version of Malwarebytes. It's the only AV I'll have on my Mac and was recommended to me by Apple. I don't need it often - maybe twice a year? - but it's handy for removing crap you pick up browsing.

 

I tried some top recommened 1, but it wanted some other files, I said yes and then it hung on some other missing files, so I think I downloaded F-PROT, I remember that as a kid. I'll try malwarebytes too

Hey Linux running LTSpice fixed the crazy cpu usage I had moving around a schematic, with grid markers on. I hate you windows 10.

 

I hate you windows 10.

Together, shouting from the rooftops:

I hate you Windows 10!
