Re: AVG 7.5?

I try and keep my customers sway from anything from symantec and Mcafee, I guess everyone has their favourites, but I've seen so many PCs crippled on performance when trying to run the bloatware from those two they might as well have not bothered.

It seems to me there's been a lot of good kudos for AVG of late. My experience with them is with their free version that I encourage my family and friends to use on their personal PC's, and it seems to run great.

My experience with Sororities using AVG is that the users running AVG are the only ones being compromised. The ones running Symantec Corp, Norton products, McAfee, CA, Panda, etc... None of them report problems related to Malware, only the AVG users - this has been the case for 3 years in a row, over 200 users between houses, about 130 with AVG.

All AVG installs were/are current, scan daily, update daily.
