AVG Updates

FYI and FWIW, as at 1st March, Grisoft are still 'updating' their AVG 7.5
Free definitions. Just downloaded Virus base 270.11.5/1979 dated 1st March
2009 @ 17.46 Hrs (GMT?) onto my two WinMe boxes. Another reprieve perhaps?

Thanks Mart, only I don't use AVG anymore. Went back with Avast, because AVG
was aking me to purchase the pro.ver. (must have downloaded from the wrong
site).
I somehow prefer Avast for whatever reason.
At any rate, whoever is using AVG can update now, unless they are on 'auto
pilot'.

Harry.

Hi Harry - and HL (long time, no speak, or in HL speak - Good to hear
your face!). BTW - Whatever happened to Jack Martinelli? Sorry, I
digress.

Yes, I've got AVG (free) running without any problems on my Vista and XP
PC's. I only run full scans once a week which seem to have kept me safe.

Regarding AVG 7.5xx (for Win9x), I read in the Win98 Group (Glen Ventura,
aka glee) that the definition updates will cease at the end of February.
What a shame, but as that being the case, I'll probably wait to see what
effect the last update has - i.e., will it give me a permanent nag
screen? - or will I be able to live with it. Otherwise I will probably
(attempt to) install Avast. Is Win9x still being targeted?

I've lived with AVG for as long as I can remember and it's never let me
down. I'll be sorry to lose it.

Hey H,
I have put Avast! on three Vista machines with no problems out of
any of them. I think Avast! and AVG are very comparable.

Heirloom, old and either it is foggy outside or my
eyes are going

Hello Mart (from Vista):

Remember you being an 'AVG' fan and me preferring 'Avast', pertaining
to 'ME'?
Now that I am in WinVista I wound up installing AVG, after removing
McAfee and it is performing nicely.

Harry.
