AVG Free Anti Virus

[RJ_Paton]

If my memory serves me right, you will only get automatic downloads
if you purchase the "PRO" version. Just check the website to make sure.

This is what you get with the free edition of AVG

What you get with AVG Anti-Virus Free
   Easy to use
   Regular and automatic virus database updates
   Realtime protection of files and e-mails
   Scheduled and manual testing
   Windows and Linux
   And most of all ... great customer satisfaction!

Avast, as mentioned, is also a good product

I was just going to say that I have updated mine to 7.5 and am still getting automatic updates as I specified at 4 pm each afternoon.

Yet again, just to let you know that you DO get automatic downloads (for 3 years in my case - probably forever) of AVG FREE!

Sometimes, when there is a new version (eg 7 over 6), they make it look as if you need to pay, by making that bit of the screen/message prominent, but you can find AVG free quite easily by reading the message/site carefully.

So my free downloads come daily - they just install themselves and show me a little box to say they have done it.  If there is a new VERSION you will be told to download it.  As we all should have done by yesterday.

Here is where you can read about it and do the business.

My version is now 7.5.441

For home users there is no need to buy AVG pro.

Whichever antivirus you use, make sure you get it to update continuously - this way you keep abreast of the latest beasties.

Just another little point.......just because the deadline is the 18th, it doesn't mean that you will no longer be able to obtain AVG 7.5 Free after that date.....it just means that AVG v7.1 won't be supported.....

Also, it's only FREE for home use....if it's for business purposes, you pay...

Hi All
is there any other way to download the newer version of AVG.Rather than have to wait 1 hour forty five minits. I have another hour and a half to go:(  and am having to do it in stages.Rather than go in and out of the room moving the mouse to keep the screen up. I had wondered why my email scanner wasn't working,i don't get updates. I started to download last night but stopped it when i saw how long it was going to take

Are you on dial-up or broadband?

It takes a couple of minutes on broadband.  I suspect even on dial-up it should be very much faster.  Maybe some error?
