   Apparently I am living in a parallel universe in as much as I have no idea what WP is talking about. Some clarification would be appreciated. (My wife, no less, says it has something to do with video games.)

   I haven’t used Avast for a couple of years because of its constant flase positives. Usually euristics dinging a vital Windows System File or Process as malicious, not a definitions FP per se. But this is just another reason to switch.

   I still have no plans to retest Avast with Windows 8 after experiencing a Fatal System Kernel error message with both Avast 7 and Win 8 in beta stages.
