Oi, so many questions ahahaha. Glad to help.
Yeah, I know... when it comes to computers, sure, I use them all the time, but I've reached the point where I must take control of my computer life and learn some stuff. If I were doing this stuff alone I'd be like , and then like , and then like ...
Anyway, I got some more questions... lol! I really do appreciate the help, though.
So, technically, laptops, even with the chips the same name as their desktop counterpart, are not actually as powerful, and may actually make things run slower, but not so much you'll even notice anything if you keep your system in good health?
So, after you install the latest Avast, you just turn it off or uninstall it until another 6 months have past and repeat the process?
Does Adblocker block anything other than ads? I've heard it can conflict with certain sites if something is intended by the site, but can't run because of Adblocker, or because of a Firewall.
If I have Avast installed, is there any need for Malwarebytes? Why are they different?
Is a grey area website one that is somewhere between Youtube and some crazy virus-riddled porn site?
So, really, forget the brand thing... It's more about specs and price? Still, are there any brands to just flat-out avoid altogether?
