Recommendation?
AVG says theirs can't be used on any network. How about home cable
internet with router?

AVG will work on your system OK

That just means that AVG cannot scan a remote (or network) drive

It can be used on your PC and will scan everything you download - it
just cannot scan any things that are not on your PC. (For example, if
you had two computers and connect them over a LAN, you cannot scan your
second computer from your first PC)

You would need to install it on each computer -- I don't beleive that it
will scan across network drives.

It does work on any network computer except the one running internet
sharing. If you are using a router it should work on all.

It will scan network drives if they are mapped or you perform a manual scan.

Could be. I don't use AV software, so forgive me if I am out of touch.
