I use Avast on some of the Windows 10 machines and Comodo Internet Security 8.4 and 10 (beta) on some of them (all build 14393 ie. 1607). All work well for me.

Avira Free has occasionally annoying ad-popups, but has been working well.
I tried Avast, but it annoyed me for reasons I don't remember (it was probably the nagging to upgrade.)
Sounds to me like you have some corruption. Have you run a chkdsk on the drive?

It would be revolutionary. Visual Studio needs a Backup function, that backs up the VS installation, all its settings, all its extensions and their settings, all SDKs it installed, etc. I used to do a fairly regular Windows Reset, but keep my files, but it did mess with some VS stuff. I would actually like to do a clean, fresh install again. It would feel like taking a shower in terms of using me computer (in other terms I do that more regularly), but especially now with Xamarin, re-installing VS would be quite an affair.
BTW, off-topic, how do I turn the url in my sig into a hyperlink?

I'd be happy if it just preserved my settings when I upgraded - particularly where I put my property pane, solution explorer, output, server explorer, ...
It's a PITA to get them all back where I expect them - and I still can't get VS2013 to put Properties on top of "Find and Replace" ...
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

None of my panes are pinned, so so hassle for me. But the Xamarin stuff is getting scarier my the minute. I'm trying to get an Android emulator up and running, and I've done about 7 large downloads in the last ten minutes.

Why, thank you, sir. I didn't expect you could use raw HTML there.

Wow, that must have been quite a huge rock, eh?

BTW, most (if not all) of the links on the RHS at your site are 404.

Ooh, gawd, that's WordPress for you. Never thought to check them. Thanks!

Actually all the links to pages at erisia.com seem to be broken. Prolly a config thing?

Elephanting elephant! At least the links inside the posts work. I've removed all the links at the right.

That's not a good look for a technical blog, is it...

I'll get to the look shortly. Right now I'm trying hard for one post a day.

As a blog it looks good - until it starts spitting out 404 errors, which is "not a good look for a technical blog": no insult to your design skills was intended!
(And I can only apologise if you thought that was what I mean - I'm sorry, I didn't intend it that way)

We've had to do an unavoidable database update that will kill perf for a couple of hours. I'll be turning off bits related to the update, so certain things (mainly logging) will be unavailable.
Sorry everyone. Back soon.

It's donut day - every week someone brings in a box of donuts or bagels for the rest of us to share.
Today my breakfast was a banana-nut muffin and lunch is a maple glazed buttermilk bar and chocolate glazed old-fashioned.
I'm pretty sure the bear-claw will be mine for later...

Fry up for breakfast WITH BACON, salmon samiches and fruit on the beach for lunch and probably a salad if we ever get around to doing anything.

Just out of curiosity, why do you think you are so special you need to broadcast your life to us?

Too much sugar, which any fool could eat. Fortunately the (old) gods, in their wisdom, have shown us a much better way to consume it, in the form of alcohol.
I have been playing Skyrim and one of the city guards said to my character: "I'd be a lot warmer and a lot happier with a belly full of mead."
So I just opened a bottle 'Thor's Hammer' and already feel happier.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Yeah, its hard to resist when its right there in front of you. I prefer the 'once a week' discipline; just dont buy it from the supermarket, rather than have it in the home, but at work?
Cant you work from home on donut friday?

@chris-maunderr
I refer all and sundry to this[^] post from Maunder to me a few hours short of a week ago. Then he followed it up with another[^] post to me yesterday.
Today I answer his challenge here[^].
Please pay attention to the 2nd word of the 2nd sentence of the 2nd paragraph. No tricks, no special characters and boom the filter code can suck my balls.
