Title: AVG software
Post by: Robert HM on January 22, 2009, 03:52:42 PM
Need to sort out some freebie protection on a spare laptop, using it whilst sorting out problems on the main one. Is AVG the way to go or can someone suggest a better one?

AVAST is the one that people recommend to me as the best free one.

AVG was tilting my life but someone on here recommended I try AVAST. I have now been using AVAST since June with no problems at all.

AVAST here.  Did the AVG thing for a goodly while, but it was missing the odd thing now and then.

AVG here - I get slated for it regularly.
If I had the inclination I would move to AVAST - just to end the abuse @ work.
