Keep avoiding AVG 8 at all costs!

I’d like to revisit my original post, which became quite popular and even got comments from the people Grisoft. I was also contacted via email by these individuals who offered support and even gave me a 3-month trial for the network I was having problems with originally.

So I’ve been on the Atkin’s diet for a week now and I’ve been doing a bit of bike riding. I did about 4 miles today, which isn’t much, but seems like a lot of effort for someone who’s so out of shape like me.

Here’s what I did:
