We have 'AVG free edition' to check for viruses on our computer but it will no longer be free from january. I was wondering what other virus software people use, not necessarily free.

I thought that too but have downloaded a different version which is working very well.

"For those of you that are using AVG free Anti Virus, there's an important update. All support for AVG 7.1 will be stopping on 15th January 2007, so you'll no longer get updates.
If you want to continue using AVG Free, you need to go to the site

http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1

and download the new updated version AVG free 7.5

Uninstall your old version completely, reboot your computer, then install the new version. There will be some instant updates to download then hey presto in less than 5 minutes you're fully protected once again "

You just need to update to the new version.

thanks very much for your help!
