AVG Upgrade?

Mark07 · 02-11-2007, 10:36 AM

Uptill now, I have been using AVG Antivirus with Zonealarm firewall. Soon however, AVG are changing their service to include a firewall, and stopping the current service I am using. So as I see it I have two options, use the new AVG set, and get rid of zonealarm, or find a new Antivirus (free - I'm a student and too cheap to pay out). Any suggestions would be welcome, Thanks in advance.

Hi

I think (and hope) that you've misread something. AVG has been updated to v7.5 - it's still free and does not include a firewall. It's v7.1 that is being discontinued. Where did you get your information?

It seems I was mistaken like you said, thanks for the help. Installing 7.5 AV right now.

No worries - I'm just relieved!
