Switching to Trend Micro and Finishing Age of Wonders
With the trial period expiring, last night I uninstalled AVG AntiVirus 2015 and installed Trend Micro Antivirus+, which seems to have gone well enough so far, in terms of not causing any noticeable problems. However, I can say right away that, while it seems to have a lower constant impact on performance than others despite the fact that the tests I saw said otherwise, this is not an option for the future because it seems to follow the “set and forget” design philosophy more than any others I tried so far, offering few settings or methods of customization. I mean, there are definitely no options regarding updates and it doesn’t even seem to notify when it checks and installs, no options for manual scans either, very few for the active scanning module, no way to only set exceptions for only certain types of scanning and so on, so I’m just hoping it’ll at least continue to cause no problems as I’ll simply wait out the month and then move to the next one on the list.
Did make an attempt to also finish Age of Wonders yesterday, but after defeating the third enemy as well I eventually changed those plans, so I only got rid of the last one earlier today. As I was saying, don’t care to play the Cult of Shadows campaign, go back and make other choices in the Keeper one or play any individual scenarios, finishing the Keeper campaign with the standard Dwarf and Elf choices being quite enough to call it the second game finished this year. Already updated the comment for it on my games played page, and since I don’t intend to write a proper review, that’s all there is to it and now I’m wondering whether I’ll actually manage to get back to King of Dragon Pass.
And while I’m here, should also mention that I did end up running this week as well, last evening, this being part of the reason why I left finishing Age of Wonders for today. Noticed that it was somewhat cloudy in the evening and with the forecast for the next few days being of even higher temperatures, I just gave it a try, leaving about ten minutes later than last week and managing only 23:29, so my worst time yet in the park. Was rather hot though, even at that hour, and definitely still crowded and requiring me to weave around people and slow down or even briefly stop when there was simply no room to keep going. Saw far more runners than ever before, however, and yet others were only arriving as I was leaving.
