Hi,

I'm still on AVG Free, got a message back end of last year about change and upgraded then, the latest defs are:

7.5.441 268.18.2/695 18/02/2007 16:35

You can check out their forum for some details.

Try Avast, just as good.

Ditto, I've used both and Avast does seem a more complete product. Plus they force updates several times a day, so when there was a recent big new virus mine updated 3 times will I was on the PC. (You get a vocal message saying it has updated).

which scared the bejeezus out of me when I first heard it

I found avast a little intrusive - I don't want AV software to constantly try and remind me how good it is at stopping evhul(tm) hackers from breaking my internet

As blisteringblue and oldbuffer say, Avast is a very good product as well. It's probably worth trying both and see which you prefer. Being the decisive person I am I've installed AVG and Avast on different pcs (so household is probably about 50:50).

You can disable the annoying voice in Avast in Program Settings
