Last week I downloaded and installed the free Avast antivirus program on my computer and I really like it. When I work I have the pc on mute and I don’t have music on or watch television because I like the quiet. When I take a break I go on the balcony to watch the little birds that have returned and reflect on some of my memories. One day I was deep in thoughts talking to God and I heard a voice coming from inside I thought I was going nuts hearing voices.

I went inside with some trepidation to see if Bill had returned home from work or if there was some supernatural power waiting for me, there was nothing so I returned to my work thinking I was actually losing it. After about an hour a blue box popped up from the bottom and a man’s voice started talking it scared the bejebbies out of me. Mystery solved with hearing voices, apparently my mute was set to off and I didn’t know the Avast program came with audio.

He likes to inform me when the program has been updated and when there is a threat, it reminds me of the “Danger Will Robinson” robot. Even though I’d like to converse with the other side I think I would be a little bit scared so I really had to laugh at myself. Some times my imagination runs away with me, but usually I find a plausible explanation. I really like believing in magic and what I can’t see and always hate when the secrets are revealed to me even though I really want to know.

On another note my spam has been pretty bad lately with half page comments and a zillion links within each one so if you left a message and it doesn’t show up here then somehow it got mixed up in the spam and I have been deleting without looking at those lately. I’m very sorry if that happened because I normally publish all comments whether good or bad so long as they aren’t just spam comments. Usually if there aren’t many in Akismet I glance through to make sure I don’t throw them away.

Really, those computer voices should be female so they wouldn’t scare us all so much. I know how you feel.

I always liked that robot on “Lost In Space.” Wow, what an old show! Never heard of Avast. I had Webroot but I got message that it expired. I use Norton and like it well enough. Don’t really know how good it is. Maybe will look into Avast but woud keep the sound off.

My mom actually thought someone had broken in the first time she heard it coming from her home office. I thought I had told her that it would talk to you after an update, but as usual she didn’t listen. My dogs also barked the first few times it did it at my house. They couldn’t figure out where the voice was coming from.
