Hi, I am not sure whether I am in the right section or not but hope someone
can help me. I have run AVG Free for ages but last night the update failed
saying that there was a missing .bin file. This happened after I had
installed the latest XP updates - could this be the problem? I have
uninstalled and reinstalled the AVG Free programme but the response is the
same. Since I have no idea what a .bin file is and whether the Microsoft
update caused the problem or whether it is an AVG problem I hope someone can
help me with this. Many thanks

I have AVG Anti-virus free edition installed but I do not know if Avast is
better. I do not want to pay for anti-virus as I feel that I can get real
time protection for free. I will be willing to pay for anti-spyware programs
as it seems that free anti-spyware solution do not provide real time
protection - either AVG anti-spyware or Lavasoft Ad-aware Plus. Share you
opinions here for options between AVG and Avast. I have almost made up my
mind between AVG anti-spyware and Ad-aware Plus.
