i have used avg for years and it has always been very reliable. i have yet to see a threat that it has not detected. i would tell anyone who asked that avg is the best buy for the buck. you can get 2 years of coverage for far less than most of the big name anti virus companies and avg does just as good a job if not better.

It don't protect, only will erase your others programs and is it. Don't download it.

This is illiterate. So I don't believe I'll be taking your advice.

Agreed. I've been using the FREE version for about 5 years and it's nothing short of bulletproof. You can set it to automatically update virus definitions daily. Any time a client begins asking me which virus protection program I recommend, this is my no-brainer answer.......... every time !!
