Ok thanks. So I'm definitly getting VGA free version. However I've heard .7 version was crap, which means I have to get a .6 version. Do you guys have a hash or something? :rolleyes:

Take the version 7 one with the most users. Then go take the key from notepad and then you can update til 2014!!

It's AVG_Anti-Virus-System_7.0.148_Professional_Edition_(+_Serial).exe

ShareHolder told me pro version sucks, & sum other guys the 7 version sucks.

That why I'm looking now for the free and anterior to 7 version.

But thanks killer.

I'm using AVG7 Pro alongside Panda Platinum 7.0. I have had no problems with AVG7. The interface has changed since version 6 but it does it's work as it should be so why call it crap???btw, if you download AVG Free Edition it will be AVG6 so if that's what you're looking for.. you've got it.

Thanks nostagia. But i've been told that AVG7 pro was a ressource hog like norton 2003 or 2004, and that the features more he got comparated to the free version are useless

I'll think AVG Free ediotn is good enough but to be honest, I recommend having a 2nd one as a back up (like I have with Panda Platinum).

It has a few more features and only involves getting a dodgey serial number, why else?

Why the hell would you have two antivirus programs running? That doesnt make much sense and you can seriously damage your computer by running different av's on top of each other.

One as resident and and one on demand for scanning/back up and I choose programms that don't "bite" eachother. Oh in case you didn't know: there are a lot of viruses out there. Downloading can take it's toll and sometimes my kids do things that aren't well thought through (so I like to be prepaired).
No troubles so far.

Thats understandable. However a good antivirus should have resident and on-demand scanning and thus, eliminate the need to run two. :huh:
