I've used the FREE AVG anti virus for the last 5 years without any problems.

Have tried Avast, AVG and Norton over the years.

Both Avast and AVG are great for free programmes -- Norton used to drive me crazy when I had it years ago but I am currently using it again on the recommendation of some IT 'professionals' and so far (3 months) it has been fine.

These same pros or nerds preferred Avast over AVG for a free programme.

Been using free AVG here for years and had no problems at all. It even decodes the **** **** in the table chat windows !!!..............OK I might be exaggerating but it is a good program
