||||||||

|
|
alternative antivirus freeware. . . |
||||||||
|

|
trent housecall is the only valid virus software for the discerning nerd |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I've installed 7.5(also free) and everything works normally like 7.1(version that stops) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it never worked well anyway |
||||||||
|
|

Umm, as far as I know, AVG Free is still free. They just want you to update to 7.5. You can download it . |
||||||||
|

|
|
just get rid of windows |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
you can get Norton on ebay for less than $20 |
||||||||
|
|

|
it's still free.. 7.5 has a free version. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it still updates every 5 seconds. awesome. |

"so now (-as of january) avg 7.1 free isn't free, does anyone have any other recommendations or know of another freeware alternative?" Fix'd. So yeah, 7.1 doesn't have any support as of January, but 7.5 Free does. Learn to read next time. |

on avg's pop up, it's made to look like that you will have to pay for it. they do this so you buy it. arsehole. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I use it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that's what i use as well. anyway, avg sucks, it misses 1 in every 5 viruses. take a look at these |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do you think Norton writes mos tof the viruses? Kinda like how firefighters often start fires. Good for business. |
||||||||
|
|

I use Clamwin, but Im open for something better. |
||||||||
|

i switched from avg to avast lately and it hasnt done me much wrong yet. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i love how bad all these test results are. that doesn't make me feel good at all. i always thought antivirus programs (at least ones you have to pay for, like norton) were a lot better than that... hmm. o well, i guess it still pays to be careful. |

no, it didn't. you just misunderstood it. |

ctrl-v "AVG Free 7.1 version will be discontinued on 15th of Jan 2007." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Or to quote the full press release: "GRISOFT is announcing a new version of the AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition. This new 7.5 version with improved performance and user interface is available. Users that are using AVG Free 7.1 will be provided with a specific dialog, within the next few weeks, with the opportunity to choose the right option fulfilling their needs. AVG Free 7.1 version will be discontinued on 15th of Jan 2007." But apologies for the rude post on Friday, I was pretty drunk and don't actually remember posting that at all (the cocktail double-vodka and vintage champagne at our office do wasn't the best of ideas). Actually since this topic has come up and looking at choasmachine's link I have since moved from AVG to Active Virus Shield by AOL, it has AOL in the title but is somehow [well actually I know how, it's powered by Kaspersky] actually good. And it has a much smaller footprint than AVG but higher percentage of virus-catchability-ness. |

So your topic title should've been "r.ip. avg free 7.1 version", do you find yourself caught out by a lot of Internet based things that even my mother would safely circumnavigate? Don't bother to find out about something, or even digest the information, simply make a post on XLT about it. OH NO, no more support for 7.1 avg free, god knows I was onto their helpline day and night saying "WHY AREN'T YOU FREE ANY MORE, I WANT FREE STUFF TO PROTECT ME WHILST I SURF GROT AND OPEN ATTACHMENTS FROM PEOPLE WITH NAMES LIKE A.BANDERSNATCH - LOOK HERE MAN YOUR PENIZ IS TOU SM@LL" |

Descending like the voice of God ! ... I use Avast too, it seems aright. Well, my computer hasn't been eaten up by nasty Langoliers at any rate. |

apparently all experts say nod32 is the best av software ever in the history of all known and unknown universes. you can get it for free on the internet. |

All experts some years ago would've said smoking was good for you, you fucktwit. |

Today's experts are tomorrow's comedy targets. |
