IMHO.
Free doesnt' always mean rubbish.
What's that old addage?
"The best things in life are free"?
Two brains are better than one and all that.
Additionally 99% of the time the software is 100% free!

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,

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.
Robert.

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.

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
