AVG 2012
Jun 1, 2012 07:41:29 #
Hello, On My Computer I have AVG 2012, it says it will expire in another week or so, I always thought this was a Free Program, but I guess not, are there any other Free Programs to help maintain our computers from virus or malware, or spyware, that can be installed for Free, need some advice, Thanks, George Im on Firefox, and have Spybot.

If you have a PC, why not use the free anti-virus from Microsoft,

It's the ONLY anti-virus on my machine.

Hello Sarge, After reading a few things about AVG, it said if I were going to install another program and Microsoft does look real good (Thanks), it mentioned not to have 2 programs doing the same thing, do you agree, if so I will delete AVG, and install Microsoft.

Hello Sarge, There seems to be a-lot going on with my computer today, I also have a Java program that is telling me that some plug ins will not work unless updated, then I get a screen that says computer just may crash, if installed OH BOY, Thanks, George

Two anti-virus at same time will most probably work but it puts your processor into over-time doing the same job twice.
If you want to load an anti-virus and it says ' two running is not good ' hit control alternate delete and in task manager and processes and end task on the initial anti-virus program. It will start again later.
Or you can go further and hitting the MS bubble in the task bar ( Far left ) and type in ' msconfig ' without the quotes and in the startup tab take the checkmark for the program you don't want to start on the next startup. You can always put it back in later.

Hello Sarge, You are Always a Big help with our computer concerns, so this is what I will do, delete the old and put in the new, Microsoft, AVG has been good and there use to be a Free Program, I guess times have changed some what, we have come to rely on our computers so much, and even more for todays standards, So Thanks A-Lot, The Best to You George Im even looking at buying an LED TV, with Internet Wireless, maybe a Smart TV, that has all the goddies, as I want to surf the Web more, and be able to watch what Id like through Net Flex, although its not so current, and Hulu, with the new Tvs and now OLCD, just for the clairity alone it is well worth looking into, and buying, we can do so much more. Hmmm, maybe a Ruko Box, this stuff for Me is so exciting, Life is Good.

State of the Art is being followed here also. My wife just put on Apple box on our TV to play music, watch movies, rent movieds etc from Netfix etc etc. Was on all the time for a week and now past two weeks never used. It isn't all it's cracked up to be and actually costs a bit of money overall with equipment having to be on a lot more.
Technology ain't cheap but free anti-virus is good.

I have been very happy with avast. It features continuous live protection and also available system scan.
It has been rated well in recent PC World tests.

AVG is a free program, but AVG has added a few hoops to go through before you can download the free version. You can find the freebie by either going to the AVG site at:
avg.com/free or download it directly from Cnet at:

Hello, And Thank You, currently I have AVG, but it will expire soon, according to them, they want Me to start paying for their service, Im finding out there are other sources, like Microsoft, that will allow Me their service, and help keep my computer safe, but I will open the program you sent, Id like to keep AVG, as I have had this ever since I have had my computer which is 10 years, George
