supra_aero Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I've been using AVG for years and notice they always use pop ups saying the free version will no longer be supported once a year or so. As the date approaches they suddenly change their minds. A ploy to get more sales I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbiematt Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 As AVG free updates finish at the end of the month, which other program is the free AV of choice these days?

Pabs Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 well I'm on AVG8 and I think it is a pile of poo compared to 7, it tries to download updates before my wifi internet connection is up and complains, and it seems to make my PC a lot slower and crashes more often. Looks like I might need to swap to Avast or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 As AVG free updates finish at the end of the month, which other program is the free AV of choice these days? It's only v7 etc that they're not supporting. AVG8 Free will still be able to be updated. well I'm on AVG8 and I think it is a pile of poo compared to 7, it tries to download updates before my wifi internet connection is up and complains, and it seems to make my PC a lot slower and crashes more often. Looks like I might need to swap to Avast or something. I too have installed AVG8. Ever since then the PC startup and program loading times have slowed considerably. Time to move on I think.
