You'll be really safe when you dump AVG and get a real anti-virus program
like Norton or McAfee. You get what you PAY for.

AVG offer a free version AND a paid version. I have no experience with the
free version, but the paid version has been in use for over a year here and
is an excellent AV solution. Please make sure you at least try the program
for yourself before trashing it publicly.

Not always.

Soemtimes you pay for McAffee enterprise-wide, and get a system which
downloads signature upates automatically, and re-distributes them to
every connected workstation on the LAN. One side-effect: it
blue-screens the server.

[That was an earlier version, and I'm no longer atthe company that had
this misfortune; but I do know that the McAffee distributors fixed the
problem PDQ.]

The free version of AVG has some significant restrictions in its
license (not permitted on a network for example) and some minor
restrictions in functionality, but is still a damned good AV profuct.
See http://www.virusbtn.com/vb100/archives/tests.xml?200311 (scroll
down to GriSoft) or
http://www.icsalabs.com/html/communi...certprod.shtml
for example.

No, I'm not paid by Grisoft, or anyone else, to say this stuff. I just
can't stand the FUD that says paid is necesssariliy better than free..
