      I have changed roughly 30 people from a buggy Nortonor MacAffee to AVG and they have ALL called or sent me email thanking me and wondering why the software is free when the popular software costs money. I guess that answers itself though.

      I remove all AV and install AVG any chance I get, I’ve yet to have someone not thank me for it. It is the most silent and unobtrusive software I’ve seen of this type. NEVER causes hangs or crashes, I can even run a game flawlessly while the scanner starts, runs, and finishes its scan, without a hiccup in the game.

      You don’t know it’s there, except your email recipients who see the message on the bottom of each email stating that it has been scanned and found virus free by AVG AntiVirus. They will ask you what AVG is and how they get a copy.

      MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH better than Norton, without a second thought, hands down. Could I be any more adamany about it?

      I have been using avg for at least 4 months now, it?s the best thing I have done in relation to anti virus software. I used Norton for years until I was told about avg the simplicity is what made me change over, it has no irritating update pop ups and does not take over your whole system

      I’ve used AVG for over a year on 4 pc’s at home and 3 at my office. I’ve switched many of my associates over to AVG and everyone’s more than happy to have it. Scheduling updates and scans can’t be any easier. You can’t go wrong here.
