When I put the larger HDD in a Vista notebook TI10 could not Clone to

and it did the job I was wanting TI10 to do.

I still use TI10 for backing up both the Vista and XP boxes.
As long as it does the backs up I'll keep on using it.

Here is what I found in some old messages about Avira:

Thanks for your reply. I'm however not familiar with Norton/Symantec
virus products. My TP23 uses Avira and my other machines don't need
any AV program since they run on IBM's OS/2.

Norton Utilities v6.0 is very familiar and I use them occasionally.

Have a nice day,

Holger

You can take a look at it here:  http://www.free-av.com/

Avira PE is easier to setup and run than Avast, however, the free version
displays a "nag ad" when it updates itself to the latest files and signatures.
A click of the mouse and the ad goes away.  It's not bothersome at all and uses
very little resources.

I installed with ~1GB available in a VM and it runs fine, at least in a
stripped condition.  The task manager shows <400MB in use with Windows
Defender and Avira AV software running. BTW, the install, including a
1.3GB swap file, was ~5.2GB.

Interesting - I've had no problems at all.  Maybe because of running in
a VM the BIOS/HDD is more generic or the use of the drivers supplied by
the VM vendor (Sun), leading to less chance of an issue?  I'll keep an
eye out - thanks for the heads-up!

Lucky you, as soon as I run Avira /crash/

Its COMODO, page faults. I really liked COMODO too, works great if you
configure it right with torrents, trackers can't see you.
