AVG anygood?

[Janie]

I've got totally fedup with Norton as I kept failing to install a certain undate which caused it too mess up. So I've decided to try the free AVG from this link :

Does anyone know how good this is? is it totally safe? (I'm always suspect of 'free' stuff )

The bit with the iceberg made me cry. Why does no-one ever care about the icebergs?

Itys fine. I run it. They are VB100 rated which is always a good sure sign that they is good.

AVG is the dogz, used it for years with no probs and been virus free for yonks.

This week AVG suddenly decided that the LEGO Starwars II.exe on my son's computer was a virus and deleted it, it then decided that the same file on the Original CD was a virus too and would not let me copy it to the computer - it does the same on my computer, will have to try removing AVG next ... not impressed with THAT, although I have used it ok for past couple of years

AVG is good but AntiVir is supposed to be better.

Norton sucks balls.

Bert, I had similar a while back, something in the latest update will be giving the Leggo file as a false positive. Next update will clear it up.

 

[Bertyr]

ah righto ta Cull, will stick with AVG then, he'll just have to do something else for a bit hehe

This. I've ditched all other Anti-virus programs in favor of AntiVir recently, on any machine i can get my hands on, even my Parents / Girlfriends Norton infected machines.

Norton sucks balls.

Sig Time!

Avira looks good. The VB100 resultas are solid across the board. Might give this ago in place of AVG for a change

 

[Cullhaven]

By clear it up I mean that it wont register as a positive any more - you will probably still have to reinstal the game, unless the deleted file is still in AVG's vault.

Avast! is far better than AVG and ive used bothed extensively for years.

 

[Cullhaven]

What put me off avast is that it looks like something off and Amiga or Atari ST.

Yup, tried this for the first time yesterday and it found two trojan downloaders on my system that other AV stuff hadn't.
