AVG 7.0 Free Edition
Were you using the free version of AVG ?
I've had a few problems over the last few weeks with AVG on one machine. I have a feeling it may have been a virus, one was detected just before the problems and it took some messing around to remove. While trying to sort the problem I had uninstalled the AVG program and didn't notice any real difference in performance. I'd guess that the worms may have caused the behaviour, but remember that no program will always pick up 100% of infections at all times. There will probably be a time when AVG picks up things your new program doesn't. I found this with AVG and Norton, finding AVG slightly better. Bottom line is that so long as you are happy with whatever you use that's fine, but remember to regularly update the definitions and don't get complacent- things can change. "Edward W. Thompson" wrote in message ... I used to use AVG7 but have switched to NOD32. The reason to switch was because I found AVG auto update suddenly stopped working and I could not repair it. Reinstallation did not work and I suspect the problem was at the AVG end but they would not respond to my questions. After installing "Nod" I found my machine performed considerably "better" especially at start-up. Start-up when AVG installed was slower and often taskbar icons would not establish unless I logged off and reinstalled. Further, the first scan of NOD found three "worms" that were not detected by AVG. I am not suggesting AVG is a poor AV program (although it may be), simply I have found Nod32 to be better for me.

Hope this isn't too difficult for you. Ever heard of "Google"?

: Anyone using the aforementioned free edition yet? Any problems? Is this a Beta? It's not a Beta - at one time there was only thr free edition. We've been using it here for a couple of years, on two Win98 machines and an XP without any problem. Some people have experienced update problems but I have to say that that has not been a problem here in the UK where we update from free.update.cz . Charlie. |

I've been using the free edition 6.0 for 2 years or so and like it. We Yanks download from free.update.cz . also. Maybe the little wire on the Atlantic seabed got chewed on by mermaids. ;-) Just wondering if it's time to move on up. Or maybe the automatic download issue plaguing so many may be Grisoft's little "push", no? |
