Re: AVG anti-virus, Anti Spyware for MCE2005?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I use AVG Antivirus Free here with no problems.
I don't use the Anti-Spyware part of their program (Windows Defender works
well enough for me).

Hi All:
Someone recommended AVG FREE Anti-Virus and I downloaded it and thought
I would try it before buying Norton again. Before installing it I read
the
pdf manual for it and it said "not intended for networked computers".
Does
this mean I can't use it on my three networked computers with one
connected
to the X-Box? That doesn't sound logical because I read that Microsoft is
offering it as a download for Windows Vista when it comes out. Or is it a
case that the FREE version doesn't work with networked computers but the
one
they sell is different and will work? Anyone using AVG anti-virus and
anti-spyware that might clue me in?
