Page 1 of AVG - Latest Update

Just removed this after it caused me nothing but trouble yesterday after the latest update.

Not alone in having issues.

I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you've noticed.) You don't normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.

I left AVG when version 9 came out, just killed my machine hogging resources. Using AVAST now seems to be much better at resource management no probs with viruses or anything either.

i gotta say, AVG is fit only for the bin these days :( switchedto M$ security essentials & never looked back...

as yet I have not updated til V9 til I hear its working ok I keep getting prompted to if there is no change soon Im gonna take the Ogs advice and change to MSE

AVG was grinding to a halt, so I switched to MSE which was OK for a while. Nice and simple to use, but for some reason it refused to update virus definitiions after a while on both of my systems..

Now using Avast with no problems (so far)

I have Avast running on my gaming pc, have done for a while, does a good job of keeping things lean and mean :)

I`ve got the M$ one on my laptop, which I just use for surfing, and it seems fine.

Comodo on the PII450 is good to

I used to be massive AVG fan and used to recommend it, had it installed on all my machines, but as each PC has been rebuilt AVG has been replaced with something not so bloaty :(

It`s  a shame, as as well as the fact it was free, it`s lack of bloat was the other main reason it was better than Norton, but from what I read about Norton, the new home version is bloat free.

The corporate endpoint one however does really slow down some machines while doing a full scan, but apart from that it`s ok.

It turned into a real system hog.

I`m on AVG 9. Last week it did an update on my desktop XP & when it restarted it frooze, nothing moved not even the mouse pointer. Went into safe mode, system restore a day & all is now fine.
On my Vista laptop it did the same type of upgrade with no problems.

Ditch it Paull - MSE or Avast, you won`t look back.  The Avast on-access scanner has saved my ass before I even knew it needed saving. :)

I have MSE and Avast running together without any apparent conflict.

I ditched it when it completely missed a virus. Went back to Avira.
