Just wondering what software you use?? Im about to renew my membership but I have heard instead of spending the 100 or so dollars that the AVG free one is just as good. Anyone used AVG or know if it is just as good as what you get for paying? Thanks

I use Avast 4.8 at the moment, its great (and free). We have used it for 2 years now and it hasn't let anything bad through yet

I personally don't use AVG or Avast but know plenty of people who do, that have no issues.
Check http://computersavvy.wordpress.com/2008/06/18/avast-free-vs-avg-80169-free-side-by-side-software-review/ - here for a quick side by side comparison if you are trying to decide which one to try. This guy is quite biased towards Avast from the look of it, but at least it gives some info about compatability anyway.. |

We were using AVG but recently changed to Avast (for free) and i find it is much better than AVG. ------------- Mummy to Caide 08/01/2006 & Ruby 24/10/2008 http://www.babysfirstsite.com">

We use AVG but I think it's causing a few issues with my browser. Might give Avast a go - thanks! -------------
