Soulboy Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Well it looks as if the free AVG anti viruse comes to an end in January - and I assume that you have to pay for its replacement. Can anyone recommend another free anti virus. Any help much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarMad Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Yep what he said. It looks like you have to pay but you don't you can sill keep it for free and its still great AV software. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustynuts Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 [ QUOTE ] antivir - very similar, still free after jan IIRC [/ QUOTE ] Last time I used Antivir, updates were usually a matter of downloading the whole program again and reinstalling, rather than an update file. For that reason I ditched it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eolair Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 nod32 is free and good. ClamAV is free and good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 I also thought AVG was going but after looking very carefully I found the link and installed it about a month ago. Not sure why they offer it for free and then hide it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Cause people don't like change and its good software I think they hoped that more would buy the full version than use the free. Can't blame them really .... Mind you I think the dedicated av software is better than there full package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
