Computer Help for Seniors (and Other Newbies)
Software - Antivirus

Antivirus software is a term used to describe a computer program that attempts to identify, neutralize or eliminate malicious software.
Is the free version of AVG going away? No, it's not. Download the FREE Version 8 here:

However:
AVG Technologies announced AVG V8, the latest incarnation of their popular anti-virus scanner. Version 8 includes fully integrated spyware protection, rootkit protection and web link checking of search engine results. It is yet another example of a former anti-virus scanner transforming into an anti-malware scanner.
The free version excluded the anti-spyware scanner, rootkit scanner and most of the other accessories added to the commercial V8 product. It also dropped active email protection.
Worse still, AVG announced that they would discontinue (at the end of May) the virus updates for the current V7.5 free version as well as their free anti-spyware and rootkit detection products.
In view of this change I am recommending switching to Avast.
