709009 2008-10-01 04:57:00 Hi Team,
I'm fed up with Grisoft AVG problems and wish to change my anti-virus software.

Avast and Antivar seem to be the two (free) flavours of the month which are BIG downloads for rural dialup so don't want to d/l both to try.

Which one does have the vote of youall as best.
Which gives regular up-dates.

I am running Win2k pro with a ZoneAlarm fire wall.

TIA,
Phil.

Gone back to Avast. Unobtrusive and doesn't miss much.

709015 2008-10-01 07:16:00 The popups didnt really annoy me too much, so I stuck with AntiVir for its detection.
Avast is ok, but you have to go to the site and register

709016 2008-10-01 08:18:00 Go back to AVG 7.5 ;) :) (I am still using it & they are still providing updates for it) stu161204 (123)
709017 2008-10-01 08:21:00 Go back to AVG 7.5 ;) :) (I am still using it & they are still providing updates for it)

Not much point doing that. The updates will not be available for much longer.
