Hi,
I just wanted to get some input from people using the latest, free, version of AVG.
I know it's been out for awhile, but I'd just like to hear the pros and cons about the program before I decide.
Thanks.

It makes winamp skip on Windows 98.

I have been useing it since it came out. And I love it. It isnt a system hog like so many others. And seems to also find mean nastys that others dont.

Real time seems close to the older AVG as far as system performance hit goes..."Not too bad"..but what I don't like, is now the manual scans are excruciatingly long in scantime.
Which for most users, isn't an issue, but for me, I often use it as a second opinion when working on infected machines, and I have to wait for that scan to finish before moving onto the next step.
But hey, for free....it does the job. I've found Avast a bit too clunky, and I've seen it (again just last week) let systems get badly infected.

AVG is all we run here with the occasional online scan from Trend , Panda or Symantic back when Ver.7 was released just to make sure.
There appeared to be a few teething problems with updates but all's good now.
If you need a freebie Darlin, go for it.

My biggest complaint is that it needs a new icon
