I just had a bad experience with Iyogi, having been steered there by Avast's website. After declining Iyogi's subscription services, they offered to have a technician work on my system to remove a suspected virus. He loaded MalwareBytes, ran a quick scan which did not find any malware. Then he began going through the user directories deleting desktop. Ini files, no big deal, but he also deleted boot. Ini and io. Sys from the root. Then he tells me to reboot. I chat back, asking if the pc is expected to boot after deleting the boot. Ini. He responds that yes, it will, that it is one of the commonly infected files. Hey, boot. Ini is clear text -- we could have opened it in Notepad and seen if there was any problem with it! So I let him proceed with the reboot and get stopped when XP can't find hal. Oh well, I was about ready to reformat that hard drive and reinstall anyway. So, I won't be recommending Iyogi, and I will now stop recommending Avast since they sent me there. Any opinions on the best AV software these days?
