Who makes the better desktop solutions overall? I'm thinking of getting a suite of software as a xmas gift to someone, from one of these two. Question is, they make pretty similar software from the looks of it, but who's performs better?
I'm asking as an opinion since it seems to rate highly & classifying it as malware? I've read in other sites that it tries to install other o&o trial programs but I'm just curious if you called it malware out of spite or if there are actual cases of computers becoming infected with an actual virus due to o&o products.
Well, I apologize for being harsh in using the word "malware", but a program that installs programs in your computer without the approval of the PC owner is something that I consider to be a real bad software. I am not sure if it is indeed a virus but I can tell you that it slowed down my PC and I can't shut it down without doing a hard reset after installing the DiskImage software.
Based upon that, which I agree with, I'd consider AVG with its ZEN add-on and McAfee with its free 'Internet Security' [that I've seen come with a lot of new computers] as the same. Both of those add-ons may work fine but AVG gives no option to not install ZEN, have to go to Programs and Features later on to do remove it, not a big problem as it just takes some time and usually a reboot.a program that installs programs in your computer without the approval of the PC owner is something that I consider to be a real bad software
