That information and $1.25 will buy me a cup of coffee for I use neither.

The first time I saw this I could do nothing but laugh considering AVG couldn’t find any malware (or viruses considering I was a AVG free user and the first thing it detected in my system (and this was before I built my current system) was a false positive) even if it tried so it’s basically a program with a placebo added.

AVG should go do some fake adverts instead of plugging into Limewire… ;D

Thanks Harmon ;D

Bob hit the nail on the head there. Adding AVG might help protect end users a little bit but overall-Fail.

I can’t really understand their policy.
Will the free AVG detect that infections? So, why is it only checks the Pro version of Limewire?
Limewire is an ocean of infected files. Having it protected only in the Pro version by a free antivirus is joke imho.

This is just giving users a false sense of security. :frowning:

Taking avg free is not an advise if want avg then better use the Pro one :slight_smile:
