Who makes Chillblast? Are they reliable?

Can't argue with that I guess!
Will have a look round the site a bit more. Would like the budget to be closer to £500 vice £1k, but am not sure what to sacrifice yet!

You could also ask JJ if he'd like to knock you up something

You can get a good system for £500-£600 dead easy to make core i5 2500k with a good bit of RAM and hard drive with a fairly good graphics card too.

I've had a couple of Acer laptops and they were fine.
Nephew (who is into this stuff) has told me that the Chillblast is much more than I need and a little pricey. He's suggested pcspecialist.co.uk (which looks the same to me!) Am hoping jjedmunds can come up trumps! ;0)

Right then eggheads here's one for you.
I currently run free AVG version 10.0.1416, whatever that means with Firefox as my ISP.
Now this has an irritating habit of when updating and scanning of paralysing my PC for 30 minutes or so and regularly doing so during a prolonged session especially when I boot up.
I'm sure for getting this free service and in fairness what appears to be a good level of protection those sneaky fuckers are downloading all my activity and selling it on to third parties as well as freezing up my PC or am i being paranoid?
So the question is am I better off buying protection and if so who, or just changing from one free service to another?
Regards
Fatbasher

AVG by default is set to scan at noon, or when it next starts, this means that AVG invariably scans on start up and slows everything down. Go into the scheduling part and disable scheduled scanning and just do it yourself occasionally. And if you want to buy I've always found ESET Smart Security the least intrusive as a set and forget scanner/protector thing. http://www.eset.com/us/home/products/smart-security/ |
