Hi Krister, If you were only considering using the free version of AVG, perhaps I wouldn't bother mentioning this, but since you're thinking about buying the "pro" version, I will... If you're looking to purchase an AV, I would recommend you look into something like NOD32 instead of AVG. NOD32 also has a TB! plug-in if that's something you want (it also has its own POP3 scanner, which I use instead of the TB! plug-in). Over the past couple of years, I've tried - and purchased - several AV programs (including purchasing AVG Pro), and I was very disappointed with AVG Pro. Not only does it seem to miss some well-known viruses, it was also prone to false positive "detection". Its "heal" function caused problems as well. On the other hand, NOD32 has always worked flawlessly for me. It's very fast and doesn't seem to be a drain on system resources...even for my relatively slow computer. As far as the "virus free certification" of AVG goes, I feel it's a useless "feature" anyway, and can actually cause more harm than good if a less than careful recipient were to depend on the accuracy of such claims by someone else's AV. If you're going to pay for an AV, pay for one with a better track record than AVG. :-) Melissa - -- PGP public keys: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=0xFB04F2E9&Body=Please%20send%20keys -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQE95RmujVbXUvsE8ukRA9+rAJ90E5PkSBaNjtNQZb/rQYn6Akil7gCguUnT HfAePE1Xzu3R3qGDDa1Ueig= =TYdU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
