Hi Bob. What do you recommend doing about Windows Defender (which is an anti-virus program built-in Windows 8) when you installed Avast? I've used Avast for years, and am running it on Windows 7 (on another PC) and on a Mac with OS X. I'm running Windows 8 Pro on the PC I'm using now, and don't presently have Avast installed.

Thanks for your comments and blog. I plan to say hi to you at the Prescott Computer Society meeting on December 15....Jim Hamm
