    I love this software! It has found virii (?) that Norton and MacAffee haven't. Just keep it updated!

    I have recommended to my school district's admins, but they stll follow their own course.

    as I suspected ... not a single argument about AVG. I've been using it myself for many months and it works just great.

    one thing though ... it is free, but can you actually use it to protect your workstations at work ? (small business LAN of 25 PCs)

    did anyone read their license agreement ?

    Exclamation

    Im going to stand out as one AGAINST AVG.

    We have a lot of users who install it, update it, and while there system is here for service, are still infected. I have removed 3 viruses of 3 computers just this week along with norton, when AVG missed it.

    I would never trust my system to AVG.

    Just my 2 cents.

    Can a cold boot scan be done using AVG? Have been using the free trial of Norton Antivirus--the program is huge, and it slows my computer even more. Doing a cold boot scan with Norton(have 10GB of harddrive full) would take days, and my computer might end up in even worse condition then it is.
