Virus programs

I just wanted to mention that AVG and Adaware both have new FREE versions available. I've been to a few client's homes to find that they still have two versions back because they were directed to a page that wanted them to pay for a new version.

AVG is created by a company called Grisoft. But if you go to free.grisoft.com you will always be directed (within about four clicks, they don't make it easy!) to the download.com site where the free up to date version is located. Similarly, Adaware, a program for Malware, is created by lavasoft, and I go to lavasoftusa.com to be directed to their download.com page to download. AVG's current version is 8.5 and Ad-Aware currently is supporting their anniversary edition.

Don't be fooled though, once you get to the final download page, you have to read carefully where the download you want is. Sometimes a flashier, more colourful button will beckon you to download, and it isn't usually the program you thought you were downloading!

Don't forget please, to install any current versions of virus software before installing a new version. And restart your computer between the uninstall process and the new installation.
