AVG Free Discontinued
AVG Free is being discontinued as of 01.15.07 ... I was hoping I could get some suggestions for some other free AV software. I have tried a few, but I was wondering what AO would recommend. Thanks in advance.

My subscription to NAV ran out last month and I was never a fan of Norton, it really seemed to slow things down.
I read a few reviews and found Avast which is free for the personal, non commercial user. I haven't got infected yet, it seems to the job.

Hi Guys,
The message from AVG was a little "economical"
AVG 7.1 is going into honourable retirement..................... but, if you go to the site, you can get AVG 7.5 FREE EDITION
Please post back if you have any problems
It's just a new release that cannot be handled in an update..................
If you cannot do someone any good: don't do them any harm....
As long as you did this to one of these, the least of my little ones............you did it unto Me.

Thanks Nihil, I appreciate the info... I had just assumed that they were doing away with the free edition altogether.

I've been using avast for a while now. (about 6 months)
I've had no problems with it so far.
Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.

Avast is good - I have it installed on Vista and it's worked from even the earlier beta releases.
