Subject: Fw: AVG Anti-Virus Information
> Yes, it's true that the current free version of AVG Anti-Virus (see
http://www.grisoft.com
 ) will expire on December 31, 2004. After that date
> it will no longer be updated, meaning it will not protect your system
after
> 12/31/04.  As we've stated many times: An anti-virus program which is not
> updated is as bad (or worse) than having no anti-virus software at all.
> There is some hope though. AVG reports they will have a new free version
> soon. While details are sketchy, and the wording on their Web site is
> somewhat vague, it appears that AVG will introduce a new free version
before
> the current free version expires. There is no reason to panic. AVG will
> continue to update AVG through December 31 which is nearly eight weeks
from
> now. We suggest that anyone who is currently using the free version of AVG
> visit
www.grisoft.com
 frequently in the coming weeks and read the latest
> information on AVG's home page. We hope that sometime before December 31,
> 2004 AVG will offer their new free version so that there is no lapse in
> protection. There is a viable alternative to AVG and that is AVAST which
> also has free version available. We personally use AVG on some of our
> computers and AVAST on others and have found both to afford excellent
> protection. You can learn more about AVAST from
http://www.avast.com
