    End of support for AVG 6

    Sadly, Grisoft have announced support for Version 6 of AVG (the free AVG is V6) will cease at the end of this year:

    http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_index.php

    "Grisoft announces the end of support for AVG version 6.0 effective on December 31, 2004 for technical reasons. This version has been available since 1999. Its structure does not allow for further improvements planned for version 7 nor improvements in detection techniques expected to come in the future.

    End of support means we will no longer provide program updates or Virus Database updates for version 6.0 and therefore, within days, this version will not protect against new virus outbreaks!

    Current AVG 6.0 users should upgrade to AVG 7.0. Information on upgrading to version 7.0 can be found at http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_upgrade.php.

    How not to endear yourself to users and almost certainly guaranteeing that no one is going to upgrade to the (pay) v.7.

    Sigh.

    I guess its over to Avast! or....?

    Incidentally, if you feel a write-in campaign might help, here's the site for their addresses -

    A shirty note from me is on the way....

    But note the allusion to a new Beta program that may be the replacement to AVG 6 Free.

    Or not....
