![]() And we settled on Avast Free Antivirus - recommended it as a simple and easy-to-use program.Īntivirus has many advantages. The choice of free antiviruses is not that big. Avast wins hands down! Is easy to use, too. The free mobile phone version is well worth downloading! I will keep Avast for the foreseeable future! I remember all of the issues I have had with the mayor brands that either come free with my computer, or have a free 'trial'. I do wish they had an all inclusive price and would stop trying to sell me stuff that is not included, that is my only bad comment, and that is minor. AVAST has added various services over the years, and I have tried them n and off (alo of them) over time, and they ARE good, but they do make the service expensive if you buy all of the extras. I run the tests by the other sites every so often, and they all SAY they have found something (of course), but with research, find that these are errors on my computer (caused by me, or registry errors that are not "urgent". The paid version was super inexpensive the first couple of years, but is still today cheaper than all of the other systems out there, and so much better as far as I am concerned, yet it STILL stays cheaper than others & STILL is the best system out there as far as I am concerned. I had the and free version for years, until they notified that they would not cover everything they had in the past, and gave a date. The free version was comprehensive, at one point, you only paid if you were a business. I used this as a free backup when I had free McAfee the 1st 2 yrs that came with my computer, Avast caught so many things that McAfee missed. IMHO, MUCH better than all of the retail ones I have ever tried. Not had a successful virus get through in the 6 years of paid use (or the 5 of unpaid). Have had the program stop me dead before a Trojan Horse tried to open. Was a user of the FREE full version for 5 years (used to be free for all residential users for the full version!), then had to upgrade to reasonably priced full version. You just know there is one fat cat making a buttload of money while I now go more broke every year. I will have to start looking at different companies after 20 years with this one company. No way to bundle packages to save money anymore, either. I wrote to them that it was getting out of control, but unlike the old AVAST, they had no time to write me back. I am sad to have to put forth this update. I have been with this company since their early days on the net, when it was free for residential customers, but are now to big for their britches, and charge far to much, and are always finding new ways of nickel and diming you. Last straw, you used to get phone version for free when you paid for everything else, and now I have to pay $6 a year (yes, I know that is minor, but by next year, they wil charge $20 a year, for sure. You used to be able to buy a package, and it covered everything, and now they separate everything, and then charge you for each thing, so it no longer is cost effective unless you have multiple computers. In my case, immediately after they charged me.Ĭustomer support id ******* - 6:33pm PST You should not have to go through this experience for canceling or requesting for a refund especially if it is within a reasonable time frame. So I hope this can speak volumes to my experience. I have never written a consumer affairs review either or a 1 star review. I was really happy with Avast programs and features but I will never ever do business with Avast ever again because of this. It was difficult to maintain my composure but I continued to say thank you and please to my requests despite the constant disrespect that I had received. This agent also made underlying taunting & mocking comments of my Asian heritage last name - which was quite obvious and extremely unprofessional. It was quite obvious their intentions were to frustrate me and delay the entire process. The agent tried to exhaust me by asking several times why I wanted a refund and tried to only offer a 75% partial refund. ![]() ![]() The entire request lasted 30 minutes while the customer support agent named Kennedy, attempted to exhaust me with alternatives and delayed responding for nearly 5 minutes. I had to politely beg for a refund for a charge that was automatically renewed without my authorization. Terrible and unprofessional customer support.

Its 1500 foot prominence and its proximity to the Columbia River give you the false sensation that you could dive from Angels Rest to the water below! The real draw, however, is the perspective of the Columbia River below - like you're on a balcony over a great auditorium. The summit is characterized by a long, rocky spine surrounded on three sides by cliffs, boasting a striking 270 degree view! While you can't see any of the Cascade volcanoes from the top, you do get great vantages of Beacon Rock, Silver Star Mountain, and many other landmarks. The platy andesite that composes this promontory is part of a million-year-old lava flow from Larch Mountain, a member of the Boring Lava Field. You could retrace your steps and hike the 13 miles back or you could set up a shuttle ride through the Woods Hole Hostel.Angels Rest is an exposed bluff on the western end of the Columbia River Gorge.

One potentially frustrating difference, though: The left-hand Control and Function keys are flipped in position. It's essentially the same size and layout as Apple's smaller Magic Keyboard, but with a number pad. While it's a full keyboard with a number pad, it's set up more like a laptop keyboard with half-height up and down arrow keys squeezed between two full-size left and right arrow keys tucked below the right Shift key. The keyboard's scissor keys give it a responsive key feel, and it will last for up to three months on a single charge. It has a slim, lightweight body with matte-finished stainless steel on the top and sides and ABS plastic on the bottom. ![]() What's better is the keyboard is set up to work with Windows, MacOS, iOS/iPadOS and Android devices. The BK10 is a Bluetooth keyboard that can be connected to up to three devices and lets you quickly switch between connections with keys above its numeric keypad. Battery life is good, but keeping the backlight on all the time, especially at its higher settings, will drain it fast. Another switch lets you toggle between using Bluetooth (it can connect to up to three devices) or a USB-C-to-USB-A cable. A switch on the back left lets you pick between MacOS/iOS or Windows/Android. Out of the box, it is set up for Mac use, but Windows-related keycaps are in the box, too. (A hot-swappable version with an RGB backlight will be available soon.) Also, if you go with the Keychron switch version, the switches are hot-swappable, which lets you customize your typing experience simply by pulling out and replacing the switches without any soldering. I tested all of the Keychron switches and preferred the blue switches for their crisp sound and feel but all three options worked well. The compact keyboard is available with Keychron's own low-profile optical mechanical switches - brown tactile, blue clicky or red linear - with a white LED backlight or Gateron low-profile mechanical switches with an RGB backlight. The body, which is made from aluminum on top and a plastic on the bottom, is lightweight and sturdy. The slim, compact mechanical keyboard is a 75% size, meaning it doesn't have a 10-key number pad but still has function and directional keys.

Before this event she resides in Hermit's Hideaway, having burned the tree-stump cottage of Radius, betrayer of the Acacia Dragoons, in which Harle serves as a spy for the Dragon God under the guise of a faithful member. Harle's feelings for Serge also deepen into genuine affection and she displays it several times, even going so far as to warn him against entering Fort Dragonia to hunt down Lynx. In the year 1020 A.D., she meets Serge for the first time and she flirtatiously teases him which angers Kid (having developed romantic feelings for him). When this effort fails, Harle and Lynx decide to wait for Serge to cross dimensions and retrieve the Flame for them.īiding her time until she can execute her plan, Harle takes up residence in Viper Manor's parlour where Serge finds her sleeping on a sofa while infiltrating the Manor in search of the Flame. she accompanies him to Lucca's house, where they start a fire and abduct Lucca in hopes of disengaging the Prometheus Circuit which protects the Frozen Flame.

When created, she bears the resemblance of an eighteen-year-old girl dressed in colourful garments resembling those typically worn by jesters. Her birth occurs during the magnetic storm that temporarily flat-lines the power sources of Chronopolis, which allows the Dragon God to create a life form that could go undetected and act as an agent in El Nido.
