I tryed installing avg7 again without the recommended update
and it still caught the crack <_<
so I dled another avg7 ver from suprnova
it works but it's a network edition avg and I noticed it doesn't scan any of my
emails or attachments at all. :(
So I gave up and went to norton corp8. Is this a good AV or am I better
of with avg6?
I'm running corp and I noticed it uses less resources than avg7 but still not
sure if it scans incoming emails. But it takes longer to scan my comp.

I hear that Norton Corp is the only good edition of Norton, but I would still use AVG 6 over Norton. But if you can get NOD32, use it. Waaaay better than the both of them.
BTW, if you still want to use AVG 7, there is a keygen out there that might work, but I don't think you can use keys that last longer than two years (because you can use the keygen to caluculate what year it expires).

192823 files in 68:26 minutes too long but it doesn't slow down my comp
at all.
it found 1 virus-backdoor.IRC.Ratsou.d
so I guess its ok for now, but why is the corp edition better
than the other nortons?

That's why. People say it handles resources better.
I just have this "thing" against norton products now. :lol:
You want speed? Go with NOD32. Fast, and uses very little resources. You can see what it can do by downloading the on-demand scanner. There's a topic on this forum about it.

how do I know if it's checking my emails?
It doesn't have a certified message at the end of emails like
nod32 or avg.
The program has a email scanner but the name is MS exchange.
But I have outlook express. Does it still protect it?

I don't know what Norton does now. I haven't used it in quite a while. :lol:
The thing is, I don't use e-mail clients at all. Well, I've avoided them and thus I don't need e-mail protection, so I can't help you there. But I was thinking of trying Mozilla Thunderbird.
