&gt; Avast bought out avg in 2016.  It’s pretty much the same software so it really doesn’t matter which you choose. Employee here.  <br>

&gt;&gt; Yes, but it is VERY basic.  AVG and Avast are free and both ranked in the top 10 last time I checked. I recommend AVG to all my customers.<br>

&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; For the second time I’ve gotten a warning from McAfee that there was a virus in the daily download, this time in chirp-daily-20210919-installer.exe. The first time I saw this behavior was with the 20210826 daily, before I was on the list to report it.<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; The reported virus is Real Protect-EC!16F97D3AFE24<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; <br>
&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Not sure if it’s real or a false positive but I figured I should let you know. The file has been quarantined on my system.<br>
