Anyone using Charter Communications for internet? If you do ... (sm) - anon


Posted: Jun 22, 2010

are you using the Charter Security Suite for your anti-virus, malware, etc., protection that they offer for free?  Anyone know if this is really as safe as Avast, Norton, etc.?

TIA

I don't have Charter, but their suite is based on F-Secure -- - SM

and F-Secure is a respectable antivirus and security co., just not as well-known as McAfee or Norton/Symantec.

I'd use just about *anything* before I'd put McAfee or Norton on my system, as both are system hogs and generally slow your system down.

Thanks so much!!! It is wonderful to have access to something legit (sm) - anon

and "free" for a change, lol. I have always used the free download of Avast, never had any problems but recently bought a new computer and wanted something a little more without paying an astronomical fee for it.

Thanks again!!!!

Avast! (even the free version) is just as good. So is Avira AntiVir - SM

[ In Reply To ..]
In fact, most of the well-known and often-used free AV programs are good. In general, the only reason to pay for one of the "pro" or advanced versions is because they offer a few features that the free versions don't (and also don't have nag screens :-)....

Why Nuance Communications Ate A Poison Pill
Sep 20, 2013

I'm with this guy on how ridiculous Nuance's CEO pay is and I can actually understand this video, kind of. Nuance apparently enacted an anti-takeover provision limiting power of anyone with 20% or more share of stock to dilute their voting rights. They do not want that guy Icahn, who wants Apple to buy Nuance, to have power to persuade them to sell. Also, Nuance are apparently actually trying to protect their right to pay huge executive compensation way out of whack with performance ...


Are Nuance Communications Executives Overpaid?
Dec 03, 2013

Here is an article of interest to stockholders of Nuance. Money quote:________ "For better or worse, every time you buy a stock, you're effectively endorsing the underlying organization's practices. If you are a Nuance shareholder, you're endorsing the fact that five executives have gotten rich at the expense of the company's profitability. This practice may have undermined shareholder wealth, which hasn't been to your benefit. In addition, this practice is not nec ...

Finally, after 2 days, I found the list of the new teams they created for communications and rewards.  The Rewards team will have it easy as there are no rewards.  All you need to know about winning a contest is to know who the names on the list of people they want to give a little extra to and you will have the winner.  It is nothing about meeting the criteria for the current game being played, it is all about favorites..   As far as communications, that is a differen ...
