Hi Noel - in HL speak "Good To Read Your Face" (thanks HL) again after all
this time. I (occasionally) heard of your whereabouts via Mike, but good to
see you back on the Group.

I've (very) recently and very indirectly heard from Jack. I must try to
contact him to see how he is and try to report back to this thread.

... - so he's obviously still in good fettle!


And you too, by the sound of it.

Mart

Default Mart - AVG Updates

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?

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

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.

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'.

Default Mart - AVG Updates

Actually Harry, it is a bit of a surprise to me especially when they were
(allegedly) talking of ending 'Support' sometime last year and then they
(allegedly, via a forum) said that they were dropping the definitions on
25th February 2009 and yet they were/are still providing them even up until
today. All very confusing.

I wonder if Noel could share his source as I can't find any reference to
April 2009 on the AVG main web site. I'll just stick with it until
(unless??) the defs. just stop. Even a manual update gives no warning (as
yet) of the impending demise.

Don't despair, Mart, if AVG should fail you, there's still Avast and I'm
sure you'll like it.
So far I don't see any sign's to the contrary with it.
Hoping for the best,

Harry.

Default Mart - AVG Updates

Thanks for that link Noel. I'm just a little sceptically optimistic as to
exactly what they mean by updates. Do they mean updating their v7.5.xxx
'engine' which was frequently 'occasional' and/or do they (also) mean their
very regular 'daily' definition updates.

My guess is that their defs. would be very similar to those for v8.x etc.
and I would like to hope that they will at least continue the defs. for 7.5
for as long as they are compatible. That can't be too much of a task - can
it?

Still, in spite of my total satisfaction with 7.5, as others have said,
alternatives are still available out there and perhaps "better the devil
...." Just so sad to lose their win9x cover.

Default Mart - AVG Updates - STILL available!

Soothsayers please note:- here we are into May and just when you're led to
believe that WinMe has been forgotten, a quick 'fire-up' of my old WinMe
notebook reveals that not only are AVG *STILL* pushing out their daily 7.5
definition updates, but the MS WinMe (and I guess Win98) Update site (OK, no
NEW updates, but will still let you 'update' a clean install) is *STILL*
available.

WinMe is alive and well. Thanks, AVG (formerly Grisoft) - and also MS - for
your continued 'unofficial' support of Win9x products.

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.
