how do you get avg free now?

[Mr. Jollypants]

AVG is crap. It's getting too intrusive and is not an AntiVirus anymore. Get Comodo AntiVirus or Avast.

Did you try the link, I told you ... I just tried it again and it worked for me. Here it is again ...

Apparently my Windows isn't compatible with it. My OS is stopping it from installing all the way.

AVG was good back in the day, about a decade ago. it's pretty much crap these days.

I haven't had a problem with AVG . It's saved me several times in the past year. I gotta find a new anti-virus anyways so I'll check those out.

i have run avast in the past and didnt really have any complaints..

 

[anfrey]

i've been testing the microsoft one... Microsoft Security Essentials... i've been throwing viruses at it left and right and it's caught every single one. before anyones asks... yes, of course i'm doing this in a VM! as a basic scanner with delete and quarantine abilities, it's not bad. but it's just a virus scanner and not a cleaner.

What OS are you trying to install it on?

You running this on Windows 7 Anf or Server 2008 R2? What are your thoughts to Microsoft Forefront cause someone just got a TechNet subscription.

some of us find putting stolen software on unknowing customers computers unethical..

ok thats your opinion. but im not going to pay for something I can get for free. most people would "probably" feel the same

i got the beta R2 on the VM. forefront is pretty cool and integrates well. i haven't tried the new stuff on it, but client protection is fairly decent. i need to test it more extensively though. The identity manager looks pretty cool, but i'm a control freak when it comes to networks so it's not something i would implement. i really like the exchange integration though, very slick.

I too have tried MSE and i must say i did like it. it worked quite well and did stop pretty much everything. the only problem i had with it is it runs kinda "heavy". it uses a good amount more ram then eset and a a few others. but if you have ram to spare i would say it is worth every penny.

the statement was made for one reason and one reason alone. this site does not support theft of any kind and that includes piracy. dont get me wrong. ive got my fair share of pirated software but that doesnt mean you should tell others to do the same.

 

[anfrey]

i agree with it running a bit heavy. 26MB on the executable + 96MB on the service. by comparison, sav10 corporate only ate up a total of 65-69MB
