    AVG Free vs AVG Internet Security Suite
    « on: July 04, 2008, 08:43:03 AM »
    I notice that AVG offers "Trial Pay" for their AVG Internet Security Suite. This basically makes it free, if you remember to cancel the trial you sign up for with an advertising partner.

    My question is do I want this? I use AVG Free, PC Tools Spyware Doctor. I don't seem to get infected. I only use webmail so SPAM protection is not needed. The spyware and rootkit protection would be a good added bonus but I had problems with the free version of the webshield crashing firefox so I uninstalled it.

    What would you do?
    Security for all!

      What would you do?

      I would get rid of AVG and use Avast! and run any appropriate Avast! 'shields.' Spyware Doctor is a good anti-spyware program and I would keep it as long as there was no incompatibility with Avast! and the combination didn't slow down my computer.

      Just my opinion - good luck.

      EDIT: Avast! has: a) anti-virus, b) anti-spyware, 3) anti-rootkit protections.
