Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon! Press the brake foot as you roll around the corners, and save the collapse and tie up.
dont pay for it dont use it, its been junk since V7, spyware, lags your system, blocks your internet

AVG is shit, AVG free is useless. Might as well have your pet chihuahua scan your comp for viruses

why?
better alternative?
Avast is a much better alternative.
If i was going to be paying for a virus scanner (home use) i would be getting Nortons 2010. Previously nortons has been shit, 2009 and 2010 are very good products though.

ive used avg for as long as a have know about them. fair few years now.. and i have never had a problem with them and continue to be the only pc in the house that doesnt get fucked up with stupid virus's and crap.
guess it could be one of those operater things...
Same here.
Have heard good things about Avast as well though.
I'll only try Norton again on someone else's budget and machinery.

been using the free version of Avast for couple of years no probs

Yes, but why?
I understand all you Henry Pattersons' that want to rubbish avg, but you're not really giving much info to those who currently use it and have had no problems..
merctom: that's a strong call, it will take a lot to convert people back to Norton, after how shit it has been for many years.
I'm not game enough to try, happy using AVG
In life you only get one lap, might as well make it a good one.
no problems with avg free running on my 4pc's over the years...
I find that AVG doesnt necessarily pick up everything all the time by itself, but scanning with Malwarebytes seems to kick AVG into gear, and they sometimes set each other off about nasties. Havent had a virus for years, but then I dont open the stupid things like I used to.
Got a free copy of Norton 2009 gaming edition a few weeks ago (legitimate!), might give it a go once the 30 day trial of AVG premium is up.

Been using AVG for years and no problems so far. Better than Norton and Mcafee. Downloaded latest full version from btjunkie for free with 10 year license....
we have avg, been paying for 2 years, had the comp for almost 5 or 6 years with not one virus, dad had norton super awesome omega version, he's had 2 virus's
Im not so sure about that any more. i used to use AVG but when it went to V8 it was crap, slow and bogged my system down as it was a pretty hungry app. So I went to Avast.... All good, or so I though until just recently. I dont know if there was an update or something recently but now I have memory leak issues on both my machines running it. My memory usage now goes through the roof if I leave the PC running for a while.
Might have to look at AVG again.
I find the Avast interface to be very annoying. last time I tried it I couldn't figure out how to set it to do regular scans (apart from when my screensaver is running).
I prefer Avira. Free. Very good scanner. Low resource requirement. Fully configurable scheduler.
To answer the OP's question, no, I don't pay for it. I use Free. I think it's great. It's found numerous things that other software has also found. No false positives as far as I can see.
If you want to read people's opinions on software, check out what CNET Download.com thinks of them. There are also user's ratings that you can get a pretty good idea of the software you're checking out.

Amen, brother. Amen.
I had avast on my laptop. That was shit it stuffed it big time... The i.t. Dude said to use avg and never had any probs... So avg has my vote..
I've used Avast on systems from XP through Vista and now Win7... never any issues, and after getting it free for so long I bought a 3yr subscription for PRO.
Runs great, haven't had any virii on any of the 10 Laptops\PC's I have here running, low overhead and great protection, easy to use, and never been infected, though have received numerous alerts from infected files\emails.
Maybe because AVG never found the virus....
