Thanks for that link, Taustin. I don't know how I missed the free version when I was looking. I guess they don't go out of their way to promote it.
And I agree with you about the nagware. I have AVG Free on my other laptop, and I get fed up with the constant exhortations to upgrade (although, to be fair, I suppose that's the price you have to pay for having a free product). Mike |

Just in case you're interested Mike: Comodo Internet Security. It's a free AV & firewall combo. I suggest a custom install and turning off the Ask.com searchbar and the GeekBuddy installations. It's not nagware, malware, shareware, etc. The Ask.com and Geekbuddy things are the only issues; both can be separately uninstalled without any loss of functionality.
I mention it simply because it allows temporarily turning off scanning and excluding a specific file path. Last edited by Sabardeyn; 01-31-2013 at 04:11 PM. |

Thanks, Sabardeyn. I'll add Comodo to my list.
