youre welcome - it takes about twenty minutes and you will be asked if you want the pay version once more - just make sure you always choose (tick) the free option

you get anti spyware with the AVG free edition

Hi Hearts, I found AVG to be a resource hogger. Better off with Avira imo, together with Ad.Aware. Both are free.

Hearts it's all about opinions, but a lot of the guys on here have said Avast is far better than Avg. I had been paying just under £40 a year for Panda, but switched to Avast. easy to download and use. excellent so far.

i also found avg was slowing down my laptop a bit. i use avast, spybot search and destroy and super anti spyware. i got a virus at the start of last year and this web site helped me get rid of it

if you look at the bottom of the page you will see all the anti virus stuff they recommend and the links to it. all the stuff you need is free, some maybe pay, ignore that. :)

for the price you are paying i mean :-)

Joe Jordan, correct mate, 3 licences, I have 2 comps. Now on Avast both free, scan time roughly the same. I have also run Superantispyware, + malwarebytes today, everything clean as!!. Hopefully will stay like that, some sites say most attacks are on IE at the moment.
