Computer advice please. Replacement for AVG?

Post by Porn crackers »

Just had a message come up saying my FREE AVG anti virus program will not be getting updates after 31st May and to convert to AVG version 8.

And guess what..... version 8 isn't free!!!!

So does anyone know of a good free replacement?

Now where are those jaffa cakes for Jacques..... or was it chocolate digestives he likes?

Thanks for any advice.

Google AVG and reload the free version.

Exactly.

Download the AVG Free Edition 8.0 Setup program from:



Choose the second link (AVG Server), as it's much faster.

I got rid of avg a couple of months...not as great as its made out to be
very little freeware by itself thesedays is enough protection

You can either go for something like anti-vir or avast


or test out some of the security suites or just their anti-virus for a month trial as I'm currently doing...done kaspersky,eset & currently using avg

Thank you for all your replys.

I downloaded AVG 8.... 5 times!!!! got to a max of 40% before the server would come up with an error message saying it was closing.

Then I read Steve R's post more carefully and tried the second download link..... which worked first time and as he said soooo much faster.

I hope AVG don't send out a message telling me the updates foe AVG 8 will stop on 31st May as well. Anyhow if they do I now have lots of other's to try.

Thanks for the advice.
