Not sure if this means it's no longer free, but if you are a Free AVG
users, you should check this release.


End of Support for AVG 6.0

Grisoft announces the end of support for AVG version 6.0 effective on
December 31, 2004 for technical reasons. This version has been available
since 1999. It's structure does not allow for further improvements
planned for version 7 nor improvements of detection techniques expected
to come in the future.

End of support means we will no longer provide program updates or Virus
Database updates for version 6.0 and therefore, within days, this
version will not protect against new virus outbreaks!

Current AVG 6.0 users should upgrade to AVG 7.0. Information on
upgrading to version 7.0 can be found at
http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_upgrade.php.

Many old Virus programs have full support for upto date Virus definitions.


So this does not say much about Grisoft does it..

And AVP is the best you can get..

I never really tried AVG. Any good compared to AntiVir?

I tried v7 when it first came out (I was prepared to pay for it) but it
killed my Win98 P200MMX system=3Fjust bogged the system down entirely. I
hope they've improved it else I will need to look elsewhere.

Only for a little while, for example the version of McAfees that I had
some years ago became useless when it was no longer supported with
definitions after a couple of years. The old version of eTrust is the
same.

It doesn't say anything in particular as far as I can see. They aren't
necessarily any better or worse than other software makers.
