**Note: To help speed up AVG updates you can set your 
program to use an alternate download site.
Open AVG control center -> download from server. 
The drop downbox should have listed; www.grisoft.com 
(default) and http://www.grisoft.cz. (be sure to select 
"apply" when done to save the changes.) 
The default site is most often used so it can at time become 
temporarily unavailable.
By using the secondary site http://www.grisoft.cz. helps to 
ease the server and makes your update go quicker as most don't use it!

If there is an Anti Virus program that is Not listed here that you would
like to see added to the weekly updates list Please feel free to let us
know.

Remember Your anti virus software is only as good as the user...
If you don't keep it updated it won't provide you with maximum protection.

This weekly Update will be sent every Thursday on or after 6pm (eastern) to
keep you up to date on virus pattern updates available. Virus patterns are
checked for most recent update date as of 6pm Thursdays.


Antivirus software is a good choice to scan your system for possible
viruses.
however no virus scanner is 100% effective as manufactures cannot keep up
with the 
rapid change of viruses that happens daily.
Be sure to update yours regularly.
