PCTools has a free one. Problem is it falls over a lot so there's a vote for not using PCTools. I have refrained from updating the AVG and it seems I will stay with 7 untill it is out of date. Allen

It sucks! It would seem they have chosen to go the Norton / McAfee self-promotion and bloat route. The half dozen unasked for “features” that I can’t turn off without nag windows was bad enough, but an IE toolbar? I saw hints of this coming in version 7 but had no idea they’d abandon the efficient simplicity of their earlier products so completely. What a shame. So, it’s adios AVG free. Any suggestions for free antivirus solutions that stick to the basics without the nagging and baloney “features” would be most appreciated. No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG.
