Cheers

The free version of AVG doesn’t ‘come to an end’, as such. Are you sure you didn’t install a trial version of the full version of AVG (i.e. with a time limit)? The free version at http://free.avg.com/ww.download?prd=afe works indefinitely.

Probably best to uninstall the existing one first. I've been using the free version of AVG 8 for a few months now (since it first came out) - it just goes on and on and on and on (a bit like some of the people on this forum )

Avast is good but Clamwin is pretty good too.

AVG 8.0 free edition runs on 40 cumputers in our company and there is no problem so far..

AVG has extra facilities than others, for e.g.: spyware, link scanner, security tool etc.

For servers I prefer McAfee
