I had AVG in the past but used Kasperski for 2 years. I was so fed up with Kasperski so I purchased this AVG. It is "quiet" meaning it is there protecting but won't bother you and it runs smooth and silently.

There is a gaming mode for those gamers out there as well. Easy to download and so far so good!

I've used Norton & McAfee more times than I can count and I have uninstalled them more times than I can count. A few years ago I found AVG's free edition and had used that. About 2 years ago I decided to try the paid edition and I have kept with the paid edition since then. I have 6 computers at home so having a multi-licensed product is absolutely fantastic!

tentacles.

so far, so good with AVG........absolutely no problems at all.
