I have used AVG on and off for my virus protection for a number of years now. They never seem to get the best ratings when evaluated with others which is why I switch. But I always go back. AVG is fast, it doesn't hog resources like certain other well known names, it never suddenly goes wacko on me for no apparent reason, and it has stopped a number of viruses so I know it is working. I wish them luck on this new program. It's a good company.

Looking for replacement for McAfee and Norton. Mc seems to work o.k. on my desktop, but Norton came preinstalled on my Sony laptop and it hasn't ever really worked worth beans. 4 reinstalls and needs another now. AVG sounds good to me. Thanks, Sea Hourse, Ill check it out.

I gave up on AVG when it started warning me on licenising volitions. I do have domain at home, but it doesn't mean that I am using my computer as business computer.
