AVG Free

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Andy pointed out the other day that AVG would stop updating version 6 of their free AV product at the end of the year, but they had made version 7 available. I went to take a look at that over the weekend and discovered something that didn’t make me happy. Seems that their definition of “Home User” has changed and does not include anyone who might be running a server OS at home. Version 7 would not install on my server, even though I had been using version 6 on it just fine.

Then I took a look at the other free AV vendors and found that they all define Home user the same way.

Guess I’ll be adding an AV product to my Xmas list this year!

    I officially switched the RSS Feed over to the new BloggerPro version of it, since it came out of Beta and into production. Now if you click the little “XML” image on the right side, you’ll go to that feed instead of the old one. The old one will continue to work for now, but…
