> AVG V7.1 Free edition is to be discontinued as of 15th Jan 2007 and be > replaced by V7.5
I am no big fan of AVG, having seen a few machines get invaded with Malware that were running AVG. But, for a free AV solution for those folks who simply do not have the bucks to spend on AV/Adware/Spyware protection I have recommended Comodo in conjunction with Spybot (with its "Tea Timer" Resident protection option enabled). Comodo is found at www.comodo.com. I do not use it for my own machines, but thus far it has seemed reliable on PCs used by folks seeking a free solution. Okay, not to incite a Flaming, but I still use Symantec Corporate AV, v-10.0.1 for full time protection. If I come across a machine that needs to get cleaned up I use Webroot's SpySweeper, CA's AntiSpyware, Spybot, Ad-Aware, then install either a Norton AntiVirus/Internet Security or Symantec Corporate solution. After I perform the cleanup with each product I remove it (other than the Norton/Symantec app). For pre-Win 2000 O/S I keep running Spybot with Tea Timer enabled in conjunction with an earlier version of Norton/Symantec that is capable of working with pre-Win 2000. Seems to do the trick. What I find interesting is the Symantec Corporate AV (which covers off Spyware, Adware, etc.) can be had for less than the Norton line of products, yet will run on Client or Server class O/S, and allows for centralized management of protected machines in a network.
