need another antivirus protection
 
I have AVG antivirus and the free part is going to be not updated anymore. I have a message that keeps popping up, saying that I must update to the new AVG 8.5 and I would have to pay for that. Is there anything else that would be good and yet free still? Or would we have to pay for it?

No, it's still free (that message was up a WHILE ago, how long since you updated?! :jawdrop) Let me find the link for you...

Oh okay, I haven't seen that pop-up, I must have a later version already :scratch Anyway, I hope you can work it out & still have it free ;)

I'm using Avast which is free although you must register it.

I just put AVG on my new computer earlier this year and I haven't had to pay for it...

interesting, because for some reason, it seemed to want me to pay after a while. and I've had it free for a long time.

Re: need another antivirus protection
 
Well, they always want you to pay. The question is do they require it. :think And if so, when. :think It's odd, that's what it is...

eta: I wonder if Night Owl has a different version. I notice that the version you have, Holly, is AVG 7.5. off to Google...

Re: need another antivirus protection
 
Ok, I was right. The info is here. They are no longer supporting AVG 7.5 and you must upgrade to AVG 8.5. :doh Why didn't they just say so in the first place? :banghead

Re: need another antivirus protection
 
Linda, that's why I deleted it and got the Avast, that you recommended. It even talks to me sometimes, saying, that "the anivirus has been updated." :giggle

Re: need another antivirus protection
 
Isn't that a crack up? :lol Anyway, now you know why Michelle didn't have to pay for her version. :heart

Your avast registration will expire after a year, it's not difficult to go and get a new registration number, I just wanted to let you know to expect it =D

I'm going to recommend Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware. It, too, is free, and sometimes it picks up things that my paid AVG misses. The only thing is that you'll probably have to update it "manually", and it won't run automatically. It can be purchased as well.

I had Avast on my laptop, and found it used a lot of resources when it ran, so I ended up uninstalling it.
