    What happen when AVG no longer for free? there will be less viruses flying round the web because people will have to use a better AV.

    Don't use AVG 8 because it eats memory like Norton.

    AVG detection rate is only 82% & that's very poor.

    Use free Avira or Free Avast both have better detection rates than AVG & un-like AVG 8 they don't eat your memory.

    Please do not download anything from

    brothersoft.com which is in the link supplied by SAMMI as it is dangerous.

    From Siteadvisor.When we tested this site we found links to golddownload.com, which we found to be a distributor of downloads some people consider adware, spyware or other potentially unwanted programs.

    And AVG is still free....so no problem.

    And it will be Staying Free.

    Bit Defender is pretty food,

    Clamware is also up there.

    Spybot Search and Destroy...

    But the best way is to stop surfing porn and using keygens to pirate software :)
