1234812 2011-10-01 04:25:00 I recently updated the latest avg free edition software on my pc , i have had lots of good comments about it in the past and not forgetting bad comments tooo . To the impression the new one seems to be looking better than the last one .

Firstly I think - The scanner has got more faster in scanning for threats

Secondly - The software doesnt slow your pc


Thirdly - it's updates are still pretty fast


I would love to know what u people think of it ? Leave answers in comments,

Thanx

All that mean absolutely nothing, its all eye candy.:groan:

Unless they actually improve its ability to stop or remove infections, all the alterations mentioned are pointless.

I have seen countless numbers of AVG on customers computers all totally destroyed by infections, or if it can actually detect them, it cant deal to them.

1234814 2011-10-01 07:42:00 Funny that they call it 2012 Edition, as it's only 2011 at the moment?

1234815 2011-10-01 07:55:00 Norton do the same thing - A couple of days ago I uninstalled a Trial version of Norton Internet Security 2012 from a persons Laptop.

Installed nod32 and it instantly found infections.

Norton in the future must be as crap as it is currently :D

1234816 2011-10-03 21:50:00 I have very good results with "Microsoft Security", very alert, updates quickly and reasonable scan speed. FREE. mzee (3324)
1234817 2011-10-03 21:59:00 Best to look up some reviews and see what the experts think, In many cases peoples opinions are based on past experiences with software and not current. Bad experiences effect our opinions for much longer than good ones I think. I stopped using AVG when it starting making me dodge bloatware on install and starting getting poor reviews compared to MSE.

Also I always hated how both AVG and Avast hide the links for the free version while making the paid ones big and obvious and forcing you to hunt for them once a year when your free subscription needed renewing.
Because of this I haven't tried either of them in quite some time and couldn't comment objectively on their effectiveness.

same. I know alot of people get tricked into the pay version when (annual) renewal comes around or get prompted they need the newer version

Just how big is this AVG now.
Has it hit the 100Mb mark yet (must be getting close) :banana :banana :banana
