Well, after leaving AVG once for Avast! and quickly returning I am (hopefully) leaving AVG for good.

I have switched to the free Firewall and AV combo Comodo Internet Security. So far the experience has been really great, and I think uninstalling AVG has lessened my ‘login to usable’ time by about 30 seconds.

Comodo is really easy to set up and it seems to be rather light-weight. While the firewall prompts are kinda big in size, they are easy to understand and they even tell you what other users have done in similar situations.

In other news, I found a PHP Markdown plugin for WordPress which seems to work rather well, I’ve only used it once in this post, but I plan on using it more in future posts.
