As long as we're ranting...

So, about a month ago, my internet antivirus expired.  This was a full version that my parents had purchased and put on my computer (don't ask why, I actually don't remember / didn't even know I had it on there) 

Clearly, not going to renew the supscription w/ my own money (mainly because I don't need all the extra stuff on the full version, but also because it's of expensive), so I downloaded a month long trial version.  Don't have to pay for it and it can really clean up my computer, so it'll be good as new at the end of the month, when I go back to free internet security.

Well, that month is almost up, and now I'm looking at various freebees. 

A little back story, when I downloaded the trial version a month ago, it said there were several issues it needed to clean up, and it did clean them up, and I thought "Great!  This thing found problems my other protection didn't!  Now it's going to keep my laptop clean as a whistle for the next month!"

Apparently not.  Although my computer has been running really well, the first free antivirus I installed today did a scan and said that there were loads of problems to be fixed! (It then proceeded to fix only a few of them and told me that if I wanted the others fixed I would need to pay it money.  So I promptly uninstalled it.)  But I really don't understand it!  This great thing I installed a month ago was supposed to keep my computer clean!  Where did all these problems come from??? I don't get it.

Anyway, now we're trying some different programs...hopefully I'll like one of them...Crazy technology...
