Thanks for the abuse there, really good of you!!!

One slight mistake in my post and I get flamed for it, is there any need. I meant Anti Vir but typed Avast by mistake, really sorry, promise NEVER to make a mistake in my life again EVER!!!

Can't even be bothered anymore............................

You're mistake was rather flaming too

And anyway I've apologised!!! had a bad day that day so yes, sorry for that. Just didn't like being disagreed with due to an off topic comment lol

Whereas AVG I've had problems with clients receiving email...

Hate to throw my 2 pennies into the mix, but I must put my vote in for Avast. Whenever anyone asks me to build a PC for them or reinstall their PC I always install Avast for them and have had a good response back from them re: it's effectiveness and automatic updates. I don't use it any more myself, as I only use a laptop supplied by work which has Mcafee virusscan enterprise 8. But if I didn't have that already installed I probably wouldn't think twice about choosing Avast.

The only problem I can think of having with avast was a few years ago when I had problems with the email scanner loosing it's proxy settings and needing disabling and re-enabling. This happened only a few times during the few months I was using it, and I'm sure it's been fixed by now.

I must also point out I've not used AVG or the other one to offer a comparison.

Munki.

I think AVG is better. Some users prefer AVG others prefer Anti-Vir.
