    Looks like another way to get junk mail to me.
    I hope that someday we will be able to put away our fears and prejudices and just laugh at people.

    I've been using AVG for a while with Win2K with no problems.

    we are about to go to that on all pc workstations for the school dist I work for. It all seemd fine, except for when a update stalled, it stoped all attachments for most of the day.

    It's a great program. Any system I build gets that coupled with zonealarm for customer security needs. They love the fact that they get virus protection and firewall for free.

    it just makes sense.

    Great software. I've used them for about 4 years and haven't been infected once.

    Yeah, I use it on one or two of the systems here. I've never seen it pick anything up, but then I always seem to be lucky at not picking up as many viruses as the next person anyway.

    Incidently, not had any spam as a result of using it.
