    Downloaded the install programme ages ago but didn't install it, had been running AVG Free. Just did. Nice one OP. :)

    My free year is expiring in a month - has anyone any recommendations on whether to pay to keep it on or go with an alternative? Offer is $19.99 for the year to keep it on.

    AVG is a bloated POS that will slow your computer. A much better option is Norton Internet Security which has much improved, is very light, has better detection rates and very good support, you can get a legit serial on EBay for €13

    Wow. A couple of years ago people were recommending the opposite for the same reasons.

    Yes, and I was one of those who once upon a time called Norton a virus, made a nice few quid removing it and giving people a nice speed upgrade. It's now the best AV IMO. The Norton family shield is also what I'd recommend to anyone with children, completely lock down what they can access on their own devices and get notified when they try what they shouldn't

    Nice one, perfect timing! I've just had to remove Avast from my home laptop as it kept crashing Explorer so was on the lookout for an alternative.

    It was a promo back then, I think it was to reassure the Tinfoil hat brigade after the rumours.
    Then it came out that Google, Facebook, Apple and Microsoft were doing the same thing for years (but much worse) without a quarter of the attention..

    Hmmm....

    :rolleyes:
