Mark, does that go for firewalls as well. Lots of folks are using the free
sygate firewall software, with no problems.

To sound a little cynical here, I'm not that much of a believer in anything free. After all, if its free, how can one shout at something if anything goes wrong (in this case, AVG not stopping something malicious)? Just my thoughts.
Cheers,
Mark

I too was using AVG until just over a week ago and thought it was doing a pretty good job. Then I heard from several sources about people who had switched to other programmes only to discover they had viruses that had not been detected. I decided to try Avast and it found two instances of the Win32 Trojan that Avg had missed. I now feel it's a good idea to occasionally try something new just in case. You can always go back, if you are not happy.
Best.
Actually, I only very recently switched from Norton to AVG free edition and I am rather impressed with avg and also quite happy with its performance.
Cheers,
Doris

Hi Marie, I'd purchase another anti virus. AVG being free means you get what you pay for. It really isn't that good I find.

Guess what? NAV's playing up again, so, I'm contemplating using AVG free edition. Think I've hit a snag though, when I read the product limitations it says that it is not suitable for a network, we have 2 PCS networked sharing the internet connection through a router. Any of you using this version with a config similar to mine? Any comments on this matter welcomed.
Cheers now,
Marie
