I agree with Ron L.
Symantec the masters of BLOATWARE.
They BLOAT it up then kill it because they have copied the function into
Norton AV.

Lets hope the guru's at Ewido will make AVG better. Andreas told me about
the acquisition a few months ago.

Art,

I just renewed my KAV/KPSS (2 years) through your Web Site. I hope it
puts you in a higher tax bracket.

Well, I just checked their report and I'm not yet credited with any
sales. Maybe they do it at the end of the month, I don't know. Remains
to be seen if this Affiliate thing actually works as advertised.
Thanks for being a known test case
