Hi Paul,
That clarifies matters a lot more for me!
No I am not posing a trick question or anything like that!
Goodness knows that you'd ever think that! (smile)
I take your recommendation and am delighted that you posted the keystrokes for
Avast to the list recently!
"Why reinvent the wheel" is a good thought about the matter something like
Avast that works well and is easy to navigate.
I suppose I too really wondered about AVG as we heard so much positive about it
in the past.
Thanks
Tony

Hi Tony,
What swings it for me with Avast over AVG is that you can perform a low level
scan with the free version of Avast which will strike terror into the most
troublesome viruses, those which are hard to eradicate using a normal
conventional scan within the windows environment. Also I have come across
instances where AVG 8 has tampered with the loading of the applications in
Microsoft Office on windows Vista machines. Once it was removed all worked fine
and work fine under Avast. Those are my only thoughts on it, the decision is
yours. I believe that Kaspersky makes a nice antivirus program also and nod32
comes well recommended as does the pandasoft products.
Paul.

Hi Paul,
I bow to your superior knowledge in computerland especially when it comes to
antivirus programmes so could you be so good as to "talk"
us through about AVG and why we should be thinking twice apparently before
"going for it" now?
Is it not as accessible as before?
Looking forward to the update.
Glad that Avast is working for you.

Hi Tony,
I have used avast ow for the past 3 years or so and find it very good. I
have so far never fell victim to virus attacks and Avast was always on the ball
when it came to tackleing any potential threats.
Paul.

Hi Paul (& All)
On one of my computers I have Norten which came with it really!
I am thinking of uninstalling same and installing something like Avast
(which you mention on the list from time to time)
Could you advise further of this programme as to it's merits or otherwise?
I don't see much mention of AVG now, is it because it is a paid-for
programme now &/or has there been problems associated with it?
Please advise.
Catch up with my mails after weekend.
Have a good one!
Thanks
Tony
