Hi Bruce,

I'm thinking of switching from Mcafee Virus scan to something else. Can you
tell me why you don't think AVG is trustworthy?
Most people I talk to about it say it's good. And very accessible to Jaws.


Your thoughts would be appreciated.

 Thanks,

Roger Bachelder

I believe AVG to be very untrustworthy under the best of circumstances, so 
this becomes doubly important.
