Does anybody run the free version of AVG Anti-Virus on their computer?
Any comment on how well it works?
Thanks in advance.

to get disabled by viruses as much as Norton does.

AVG Free Version does work with Outlook Express - doesn't it? I have theCR,
You are probably fine using the default settings. If you use Outlook
Express, you can disable all the e-mail settings since the Free Edition
doesn't work with OE. Don't worry, however, you are still protected! If
you try to save a file attachment contained in an e-mail that has a virus,
the AVG Resident Scanner will catch it.
If you have high speed, always-on, Internet access, you might want to set up
the Update Manager to check for updates daily. Double click the AVG icon in
your tasktray (lower right corner of your screen), select the Update Manager
tab and set it to check every day. Also, open AVG (click the icon on your
desktop, not the one in your tasktray) -- if there is no desktop icon,
right-click the tasktray icon and select Run AVG. Click the Scheduler
button at the bottom-right. Select a time of day that the PC will be
running. I find that having AVG scan my PC daily does not interrupt my
work, even if it scans while I'm doing something else.

I got the following in response to a question I e-mailed to Grisoft sales:
---------------------------------
Hello,
The free edition's Outlook Express plugin does not support OE 6.
7.0 features a component called the "personal email scanner" which
includes a wizard for automatic setup and use with Outlook Express.
Please try the 7.0 trial, heres a direct link to acquire it.
ftp://ftp.grisoft.cz/pub/softw/70/trial/avg70t_209.exe
Thanks!
---------------------------------
So, even though you may see an icon in OE, I'm not sure AVG is actually
scanning the incoming messages. You are safe, however, because the Resident
Scanner is monitoring all disk saving activity so if you try to save an
attachment that is infected, it will be caught. At least, that's how I
think it's all working!

is an IMAP account (for which the AVG plug-in cannot work); and TWO POP3
accounts.
I cannot see any way to configure the plug-in to monitor both POP accounts,
so I'm forced to choose.
Does anyone know a way around this?

If you have AVG 7.0, then I assume you paid for it. If that's the case, you
are entitled to free tech support from Grisoft. Why don't you e-mail them
with your questions?

There might have been a really quick fix available here rather than waiting
2-3 days for an answer from Grisoft.
And yes, I have paid for it!

John Blaustein said:Martin,
I just re-read my post in which I said "If you have AVG 7.0, then I assume
you paid for it." I did not mean to imply that you didn't pay for it. What
I meant is that there is no free version of AVG 7.0, and I gather they offer
free support for it. (As I understand it, the free version is 6.0 and they
don't offer support for that.)
So, my apologies for not having been clearer and perhaps sounding as though
I was suggesting you were using software you didn't pay for.
