There's really no need to bash the early adopters of software either. How else would people know of possible issues to look out for, or to avoid an update altogether especially those that trash a whole system.
As I said there is plenty of people that like to be early adopters because they like trouble shooting. Unless you are one of those it's good policy to wait. There are so many examples of people moving to early into a new release and having severe problems. It's just no very smart to risk it unless you are into fixing bugs and trouble shooting in which case you probably know how to properly back up and restore your machine. There are far too many though that just have to have the newest just because it's new even though there is currently nothing wrong with what they are running. That is just asking for problems. I hope no one here is actually recommending to update everything as soon an update becomes available.

What we do here is provide an interchange of experiences from people who have updated (and feel confident doing it) to people who are wondering if it is okay to do so.
That way, when less confident users upgrade a program, and have read any discussions here on it, they have a much better idea of what to expect.
If you read the forum, especially the software area, you will see many posts with members experiences on using different softwares.You will also see headsup about new software apps coming onto the market.
That's what this area of the forum is all about, members exchanging info and helping each other out.
I've always had issues with AntiVir as in every single version to some level for that past ten years (kind of ironic it's on version 10 and I've had ten years of issues with it)..
That's interesting. I switched to Avira free from AVG free almost a year ago. I never had any problems with the Avira software - just that faff with their update servers for free users towards the back of last year. Other than that it's been unobtrusive and really sweet.
