1205599 2011-05-29 18:15:00 Hey,

just wondering how you guys rate this. I have a clients computer here with this on, definitions outdated.. and some interesting worms/trojans co-existing. Was only when I installed MalwareBytes and ran that (on 181 day outdated definitions) that these were even picked up.
**(at this stage I am keeping this thing offline, will find updates and add with USB key when I get time after work today)**

Is it worth updating this, or shall I just kill it and install something like AVG free?

Cheers

1205600 2011-05-29 22:34:00 I'd change it.
BUT.
People need to reliase there is a difference between anti-virus and anti-spyware.
There are NO packages that do the lot, whatever their claims.
1 antivirus
2 antispywares

1205601 2011-05-29 22:52:00 I'd add that NO AV + Antispyware will protect you from basic human stupidity
thats the reason for most infections.

Try telling people not to open joke emails & see what the response is.
or not to click on popups, or try banning USB sticks brought in from home.

AVG is getting quite bloated now. I wouldn't put it on an old or slow PC.

BTW, dont put your USB stick into an infected PC. Burn you AV programs & updates etc to CD. You'd be surprised how many techs USB sticks have had virus infections & taken site to site.
