Hi Everyone:

Since AVG announced they won't support the free edition next year, I
will uninstall it.

Question is will MSFT's "Defender" program do the trick in protecting
my WINXP Home Edition with SER P2?

I have heard from some that it is a great program for security?

tks again

AVG never made any such announcement. They're just dropping support for
for the older version.

Check your facts.

Or go to the website and stop listening to rumours.

Why are you replying to a post that is a month and a half old where multiple
people replied to it when it was first posted? A bit behind the times, eh?

AVG 7 comes with its own adware; BHO anyway - fact!

Client Firewall in the Enterprise package 'Client Security 3.1'. If you can
afford its highly recommended

Uninstall the old version, restart, then install the new still free version.

CounterSpy is a better choice though neither takes the place of an
anti-virus application.

Defender is an "Anti-Spyware" program, and will not protect you from
most viruses and Trojans.

There are other decent Freeware AV programs to replace AVG,,, Avast
and ClamWin to name a pair.
