My AVG Free edition is prompting me to upgrade to "AVG Internet Security" since a few days.
Is any of you using this?

No.
It's antivirus+antispy+firewall, but I prefer to run separate programs.

Hi Piras, the best antivirus available is... yourself!  (for example, i don't use any). if u really need to open some potential infected file, choose & install a PROFESSIONAL antivirus (with internet security + antispyware) OR verify it before in some online engine. there's some PROF packs at "thepiratebay," "mininova," "chilewarez" etc (with cracker or keygen). anyways, you will never be 100% protected even with the PROF ones.  and forget about free editions... take care ( literally! ), gisele gillan. |

don't ever connect your computer to the internet or any other network, and don't ever insert any kind of media or new hardware into the machine - you'll be virus-free, I can tells ya! |

And don't forget to avoid sex Isn't that why we are all here?  Kidding! I realize its an old thread but I have something to contribute. Here are a couple of online engines that use many of the popular antivirus apps to check each file you upload to it: http://virusscan.jotti.org/http://www.virustotal.com/Personally, I locally run NOD32 by Eset because it is lean and considered reliable. I use Kerio Personal Firewall to keep an eye on my outgoing connections. When I do download suspect stuff and upload it to the above 2 links I am amazed at the crap they see which my scanner does not. Pretty much makes you want to run Linux or get a Mac. Oh yea, I really wasn't kidding.  |
