    Free AVG Pro ??
    « on: December 27, 2007, 09:29:16 AM »
    Came across a site that is offering AVG Pro for free.

    http://www.computeractive.co.uk/avg/index

    Was just wondering if anyone else has tried it and if it's legit.  They also suggest doing a backup before installing...which is why I'm a bit unsure if it's OK.

    Any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    If you download it be sure to read all of the information closely. There is nothing free.

    AVG is indeed FREE but Here is the Official link....

    Other sites may try to sell you something in the process.

    Make sure to disconnect from the web after DLoading and un-install your current Anti-Virus program...

    P.S. That DLoad site will not connect and i could find no info on this offer at the Grisoft Forums...
            So it's up to you if you want to dive in.

    OK, after some digging.

    vnudownloads.org is similar to the give away a day site. They "give away" a wide variety of software.

    Free full versions of popular software, yes.
    Limited time registration keys, yes.

    Like I said, nothing is truly free. Your email address will be sold and resold countless times. Spam is in the future.........

      Thanks for the advice...always have had the free version...kind of figured there would be a catch to a free registered Pro version...I do like some of the custom features Pro offers...guess it'll be one of the things that's better paying for.

      Happy New Year!   ;D
