    Hello sinw

    I'll move your thread to the 'Techie Stuff' board, where the techie experts will see it.

    Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere(please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies. If you have any questions about this policy please email [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL].

    Regards

    I download free versions of AVG and see no reason for paying for a physical version.

    do yourself a favour and replace avg with something decent like avira anti-vir & pctools firewall (free) or kaspersky intenet security (paid)

    AVG has a lower detection rate than Avira or Avast, and also uses more processor time in its scans. Therefore, it's worth using Avira antivir for antivirus, PC Tools firewall, and use Firefox as a browser, with NoScript and Web of Trust. That should keep you secure.

    I use Kaspersky Internet Security. It is alot better then anything other i have used before. You can usually pick up a copy from shops for £25 with a 1 year subscription or buy it online.

    I wouldnt ever PAY for AVG as the firewall is full of holes (eg, XPs firewall is actually far safer)
