FREE? Now, there's a term we don't hear often enough.
AVG 7.5 FREE.....what does that really mean?

Well, it's FREE of cost. It costs you absolutely nothing, not now or later.
It's not a DEMO or TRIAL.....just FREE. FREE for the lifetime of the article.

It's also FREE of ad's. You'll never see pop-ups or banner ad's when you open the programs control panel.

It's also FREE of obligation. Heck, you don't even have to register it, if you don't want to. (I don't) So you can remain completely anonymous.

From my own web page, here's my entry on AVG 7.5 FREE:

ANTI-VIRUS PROTECTION:

AVG 7.5 FREE:
World famous AVG FREE will keep your computer free of viruses, trojans, dialers, etc.
By default, it updates itself and scans for viruses on a daily basis.
Can be downloaded from:
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/5390/lng/us/tpl/v5
Scroll down the page to the orange area and then click on:
avg75free_446a965.exe (or the currently posted version)
Save to your desktop and run the install from there.
If you have an older version of AVG free already installed,
use the 'Repair Install' option when installing v. 7.5.
Immediately get updates. More than one may be required.

Now, for an added value (It's still FREE) get the newly released
AVG 7.5 Anti-Spyware program
avgas-setup-7.5.0.50.exe

It's on the same page as the AVG 7.5 FREE Anti-Virus program.
Just scroll on down to the bottom of the above mentioned page,
to download the new AVG Anti-Spyware program.
It runs just fine on Windows XP (all versions) but not on Vista.

Vista comes with a Bi-Directional Firewall and Windows Defender
for added protection. Both are FREE.
*******************************
And that's it. It doesn't get any simpler than that.

Enjoy! It's FREE!

Shadow I uninstalled ZAPro and NOD32 (it is a very good av, but) I tried the Windows firewall, depending on Prevx for outbound protection. PCAudit couldn't be stopped. ZAPro has too many non-firewall features for me. I solved the firewall kitchen sink thing by install ZA Free; I have gone back, in a sense, to the good ol' days. I began with ZA Free back in the day. This is my security now, easy on the ram, effective, multi-layered, and no conflicts it is a mix of free and commercial. The AVG Anti-Spyware is commercial; I bought it originally as ewido. I have tried Norton AV, InoculateIT, Etrust EZ Suite, Avast, Avira, Clamwin, PorcessGuard, Wormguard, ZAISSuite(preKaspersky), ZAPro, Sandboxie, JAP, TOR, and listened and studied on this array of low impact on resources money and system. I may reinstall Wormguard; although I have to check out ScripTrap, Script Sentry, etc to see which is best, or if I even need one of them.

It may seem like a lot, but the GRC ones just make it easy to access some settings. These are the only ones active in memory significantly:
