Re: Not to mention AdAware, too

Here are a list of some limitations of AVG free versus AVG pay.
There are some limitations with AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.0 compared to the commercial versions of AVG products. These limitations include:
Less protection - AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.0 provides only base level protection against viruses, spyware and safe searching. It does not provide safe surfing (drive-by download protection) nor protection from hackers, keyloggers, spam, phishing attacks and malicious file downloads that can come through instant messaging and attachments from seemingly friendly sources. This protection is only available in the commercial versions of AVG products. Slower updates - AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.0 receives updates via a lower priority service. Priority updating via high-speed servers is only available for the commercial versions of AVG products. No telephone or e-mail technical support - There is no telephone or e-mail technical support provided by AVG for users of AVG Free Edition products anywhere in the world. AVG Free Edition users have access to support via the self-help AVG Free Forum. No customisation - Scheduling options in AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.0 are very limited (only one scheduled update per day, one scheduled scan per day etc.). The AVG Resident Shield configuration is limited with no exclusion settings. AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition does not offer advanced testing options, password-protected archives reporting, adjustment of scan process priority and many other features. No server support - AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.0 cannot be installed on server operating systems (such as Windows Server 2003), nor can it be used for the scanning of network drives.

Chris,

thanks. Everyone was talking this one up on the other lists a few weeks ago,
and it did strike me as interesting. By the way, has anybody tog a
knowledgeable opinion about how effective the new AVG Version 8 is in its
new anti spyware functionality? As I said, I'm already running Spyware
Blaster (though it doesn't seem to be updating very often, lately) and
Windows Defender. Is it possible that the AVG anti spyware factor may, added
to these other would , be good enough already? Thanks.

Hi Yardbird, why not give Super Antispyware a try. Fully accessible out of
the box. Go to www.superantispyware.com and download the free edition, which
should be enough if all you want to do is manually scan for spyware and
check for updates. The Professional (shareware) edition provides real-time
protection, automatic updates, scheduled scanning, and more. Hope that
helps.

yep. I was kind of coming to that conclusion. I thought I'd heard someone
saying that this 2008 version had just replaced the 2007 version that
seems
to have come out only in December or so and was not accessible. Somehow  I
got the impression that 2008 had remedied the accessibility problem. guess
not.

Any interesting jaws friendly options you know of? I'm already running
Spyware Blaster and Windows Defender, but AdAware still was catching some
items when I updated it manually and ran the scan, this morning (before
uninstalling it and installing the new one). I can always reinstall V.
1.06
from the install file I have, and update it, but those updates have got to
stop being provided one of these days, I'm afraid.

Thanks. Going to turn in, now. Thanks again.

That program is not accessible and there are no scripts for it at this
time.

May as well say I also installed AdAware 2008 and I can't "see" a thing in
the interface with the tab key or arrow keys, not a thing. If I switch to
the Jaws cursor, it reads as many lines as fit in whatever space it's
restricted to at that point, but it's just words. I can't find any
controls
to use or anything like that. totally useless. Is anyone successfully
using
AdAware 2008 with Jaws 9?
MpoNot a very good day on the Jaws front, I have to say.
