Do you really want another load of text on the bottom of your emails advertising
AVG and certifying to the world what version of the updates you are running?

I know people who use AVG who haven't updated it in 6 months and this advertises
it to the world. Could be dodgy

I use AVG and I don't miss it....

As long as you're using 1.61 then not a problem.


E> Known issues

Only  for  mime  digests etc, or groups of messages in each other. Though, as it
says the new version fixes this.

I've thought about changing a few times but AVG works well. Bear in mind though,
I  am  lucky to have a local mail server with a different package for a belt and
braces approach.

Personally...  i  think  the  limitations  are  minor. Your mileage may vary, of
course!
