Re: AVG Upgrade

Yes it is but you have to renew your licence every year on their website (in other words supply them with an email address in exchange for a licence key).
I need a new signature... i'm bored of the old one!

Re: AVG Upgrade

Thanks okrzynska.  At the end of the day I think all the free progs are possibly very similar.  As I've had no problems with AVG I will carry on using it and just upgrade to the latest version.

By choosing Custom install you can choose not to download the Yahoo Toolbar.

Re: AVG Upgrade

Been using it since the first post on here, about it,...... it updates daily, just the same,.... I had forgotten to switch on "scheduled scans".... so it hasn`t done a scan for three days,..... just done one now, and it completed saying nothing found.... so seems to be working ok.

Re: AVG Upgrade

The one thing I don't like about it is that on previous versions I chose to let the AVG warning show whenever I first used Outlook Express.  Now it never shows, my email just opens up.

Re: AVG Upgrade

Some emails contain the message telling me that AVG has checked the message but others do not.  Seems to have changed on a recent update.  I'm currently using 9.0.862

Teething troubles, I presume.

Always best to wait a while until any initial problems are sorted out.
