I never had much luck with it. Fairly basic I think. I still prefer PC-Cillan and never really felt safe with the free AV options. PC-Cillan is the only one i've tried that seems to pick up on Trojans. ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wyI1oWn/">

AV means Anti Virus and AVG is a particular program that you can download. Not too sure what site it's on though as i've never gone looking. Google "Free Anti Virus" and it should come up with a few options.
Unless someone else knows where to look? ------------- http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/wyI1oWn/">

I use AVG and think its fantastic. I used to build PCs for a job and our shop recommended it for a free alternative. ------------- ~ Mummy to a beautiful girl ~ |

We use AVG and it's great. I'd recommend it. We used McAfee years ago and weren't impressed. -------------

We use AVG at home too. I also work in IT and find that the virus definitions are usually as up to date as the commercial ones. ------------- TTC#1: Jan 07 Aug 08: Lap found and excised Stage 3 Endo Nov 08: 2nd lap clear - given OK to TTC after next AF |
