#168 - Free or Pay Antivirus?

December 1st brings about the end of AVG support for AVG 8.5 free. Good news there is an AVG 9.0 free. You can get it here: AVG 9.0 FREE AVG 9.0 is quicker running and has more protection from fake Virus protection Malware. Unfortunately the AVG 9.0 FREE installation takes much longer then 8.5 and absolutely requires a high speed connection. Do Not upgrade your Free version of 8.5 to 9.0 Paid online. It will cost you more and has lots of issues.

PCSS sells AVG 9.0 Antivirus/Antispyware Paid version. Cost is $39.00 for 2 years. It provides quicker updates, more control of when scans and updates run, more Internet bad site protection and automatic removal of the fake Virus protection Malware. Call and we will come by and install the paid version.

So Free or Pay version AVG? Its a matter of risk. You get what you pay for. Don't expect complete coverage with the Free, but on the other hand you do have some protection. Can't afford the $39, then stay with the Free. PLEASE have some kind of Antivirus/Antispyware software on your PC. Of course you could buy a MAC an not worry about it!
