is "vmware" better than "virtualbox" ? 1:27

[Cudgelwap1]

If you want to spend money, then yes, VMware is better.

The "mystery" about the little button to the left of the x was to pin the pop up so it wouldn't go anywhere; at least that is what it looked like to me, but I've only used avast once a few years ago; so what do I know?

[Cudgelwap1]

That sounds like a good bet :)

so i can use it now?i only have 128 mb ram..will this run smoothly?

[Cudgelwap1]

With 128 MB of RAM just about nothing can run except sandboxie.

Its warning sound is less scarier than the previous version.

@ChrisTeckTips When it comes to computer security, how fast something scans is irrelevant.

[ChrisTeckTips]

Cons: Avast 5 scan is way to slow
