    I'm glad all you guys have had good experiences.

    Cuz I was about to announce the guy that wrote the story was a shill for the apps.

    I've used them all, and they all failed miserably. But then again, I play in places most people wouldn't think of.

    It HAS to be quality. Or I'm hosed no less than twice a week.

    Hmmm. You had to go to some sketchy crap to get hosed like that. Illegal stuff I bet.

    :biggrin_25524: Illegal ?? :biggrin_25524:

    Hell I catch more crap in a week, than most people see in a year. Most times my AV works in the background. But I've caught several items before the AV even determined it was there.

    It's a normal week when I remove a downloader and/or a couple of trojans.

    I have noticed an uptick in legitimate websites getting hosed...and hosing me in return :biggrin_25510:
