AVG Anti-Spyware

http://filehippo.com/download_avg_antispyware/

v7.5.1.43
If I understand this right. The free version which I have will no longer recieve updates.

Is there another free version thats available?

Thanks.

the new avg anti-virus free has anti-spyware included in it.

theboy · 05-15-2008, 05:18 AM

So which one is better....I currently have Avast but AVG seems to be making moves. Any thoughts?

Why not both? I have avg 8.0 free edition and it has the antispyware stuff included in the package. Theres no harm done in have both AVAST and AVG together.

Oh, I always thought it wasn't a good idea to have two Anti-Virus apps to be running on the same computer.

For some reason, i've heard of people believing in that. Thats B.S. Think about it. if your in a war against a never ending besiege of attackers (viruss/adware/malware/trojans) what would you rather find yourself with. One gun (AVAST)? or two(avg and avast)?

I thought the same thing...BUT, wouldn't the twp programs conflict with each other?

naw. look online and you get two different sides of it. Theres no reason it should. I've had AVG 7 free/antivir/nod32 all installed at the same time. It was on a older comp and with only 1/2 gig of ram so the scanners took alot of resources, but just try it out. If they do conflict, its not like it will completely destroy ur system
