New AntiVirus Program?
« on: November 09, 2006, 12:20:42 AM »
Hey there,

I'm thinking of getting a new/different Antivirus program.  I use to have Avast and from then to now I have AVG.  Is there another (free) antivirus program out there that's good and worth going for?  BitDefender sounds interesting, has anyone used it?

Later.

    JacobRichards111 ...... Why do you want to stop using AVG ?
    I'm a little surprised to hear that you are looking for something else ........
    Are you using the new version 7.5 or the older one ?

      If you want to experiment take a look at Prevx1 and go for a wander through their site while you're there.

        Slightly off topic:

        I just dwnloaded the new AVG and it doesn't seem to have overwritten the previous one. Should I delete it? I'm a bit worried it al might go when the 'free trial period' ends.
