Same guy as the sygate question :P

just wondering - does AVG actively protect against viruses (like Norton Control center?)

Also, does it scan for adware & spyware?

Thanks AGAIN
(you guys r the best :P)

avg > anything from symantec
and just to school you, avg didn't turn into anything, they renamed 7.0 pro to avg 7.0 ESE

I like control over my software. I don't care what it is. It needs to say it is what it was when I first installed it. And it did'nt. It changed not only versions, but a whole nother product as well. WITHOUT MY EXPLICIT CONSENT.

That's why I'm opensource. :)

I'm shocked :eek: that the CEO of avg didn't send you a email alerting you that your pirated copy of their AV was changing names

Don't trust the free version - I had three trojans on my system that it didn't spot, even with updates and regular scans. I knew they were there because of my firewall alerts, but that dumb piece of shit prog was completely oblivious. Norton kicked their asses as soon as I installed it. It's worth paying out to get a decent antivirus prog - money well spent.

Of the popular versions of freeware AV's: AVG, AntiVir & Avast!.

Avast! Home Edition is the best. :)

@muchspl2 -- Norton and AVG SUCK and put together they suck almost as much as that annoying little monkey in your avatar. Add your "KVCD MANUAL" and call it a rap!

Use Nod32.


End of discussion.

REALITY CHECK. kvcd sucks. Most decent dvd players don't even play em unless you got some generic knock made in indonesia sweatshop type player

And even the one's that do play them, I'd just as much opt out for DivX movies because their down right Better!

I bet your player don't even play kvcd's.................you just wish it would. http://filesharingtalk.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif

You got me there. Although paying that much for a dvd player is bit impractical IMO.

You can get a really good one for a lot less than that. And I bet it will even play KVCD's. :)
