Anyone else getting the same.Havent tried downloading a fresh ver yet. But in the meantime NOD 32 Will do fine.. Just ran a full scan and found that AVI Codec pack contained adware.which didnt show up on AVG. Deleted and back to normal.

Hi oldays 1, Competition and money will always be a key factor for most of these companies.I can honestly say that I have always been very happy with AVG and probably still would be.I switched to NOD32 and found that with automatic updates and a occassional full scan, the program is virtually maintenance free and does its job extremely well. Will look at AVG again and let you know.
cheers

Update-
Downloaded and used the new AVG7.5 free,which seems to run happily alongside NOD32 without conflict(unlike Norton). Both programmes show no threats on my old family PC. I did find that because of the large number of files on the PC AVG took over 1 hour to run scan, whereas NOD shaved about 10-15 minutes of this. But since you only have to run once or twice a week it really doesnt matter too much. Both are excellent free programmes and seem to do the job.
cheers
