Patti, G is always gentle. Have no fears. I too am concerned now about free AVG. The only complaint I have actually is that it demands to be updated every day and sometimes twice a day. This could be a good thing if it does indeed need the new definitions that often. However, it has occurred to me that it might be a ploy to get us freeloaders to purchase. Anyone have any thoughts on that?
