Any comment on how well it works?

Thanks in advance.

CR,

I've been running AVG Free Edition for the past month or so, following years
of using NAV. I highly recommend AVG Free Edition! It's easy to install and
configure and has caused no problems.

I do and so do many of my customers. A good package that does not seem
to get disabled by viruses as much as Norton does.

CR,

I've been using it for a couple of months now.
Seems to work fine...no viruses.
Free updates every couple of days.
No drag on system resources like McAfee AV caused.

Taff, using ZA (free), how does one configure what ports to allow or not
allow?

It's not perfect but together with safe hex, it works perfectly for me.
I'm also running AdAware and Spybot.

Thanks for all the feedback. Would anybody be able to advise what
settings on AVG are best for a virus scan on the home version of
Windows XP?

CR,

You are probably fine using the default settings. If you use Outlook
Express, you can disable all the e-mail settings since the Free Edition
doesn't work with OE. Don't worry, however, you are still protected! If
you try to save a file attachment contained in an e-mail that has a virus,
the AVG Resident Scanner will catch it.

If you have high speed, always-on, Internet access, you might want to set up
the Update Manager to check for updates daily. Double click the AVG icon in
your tasktray (lower right corner of your screen), select the Update Manager
tab and set it to check every day. Also, open AVG (click the icon on your
desktop, not the one in your tasktray) -- if there is no desktop icon,
right-click the tasktray icon and select Run AVG. Click the Scheduler
button at the bottom-right. Select a time of day that the PC will be
running. I find that having AVG scan my PC daily does not interrupt my
work, even if it scans while I'm doing something else.

AVG Free Version does work with Outlook Express - doesn't it? I have the
AVG icon on the Outlook Express toolbar.

Jan,

I got the following in response to a question I e-mailed to Grisoft sales:

---------------------------------

Hello,

The free edition's Outlook Express plugin does not support OE 6.

7.0 features a component called the "personal email scanner" which
includes a wizard for automatic setup and use with Outlook Express.

Please try the 7.0 trial, heres a direct link to acquire it.
ftp://ftp.grisoft.cz/pub/softw/70/trial/avg70t_209.exe

Thanks!

---------------------------------

So, even though you may see an icon in OE, I'm not sure AVG is actually
scanning the incoming messages. You are safe, however, because the Resident
Scanner is monitoring all disk saving activity so if you try to save an
attachment that is infected, it will be caught. At least, that's how I
think it's all working!

John

On my computer I have AVG 7.0 installed. I run three identities in OE6; one
is an IMAP account (for which the AVG plug-in cannot work); and TWO POP3
accounts.
I cannot see any way to configure the plug-in to monitor both POP accounts,
so I'm forced to choose.
Does anyone know a way around this?

MJD,

If you have AVG 7.0, then I assume you paid for it. If that's the case, you
are entitled to free tech support from Grisoft. Why don't you e-mail them
with your questions?

If I'm not mistaken, the plugin is not monitoring the accounts, it is
monitoring anything coming into your email client via the specified
email ports. So it should catch anything coming in from either
account.

Your email client knows about accounts, but only deals in email
protocols from and to specified ports and IP addresses - after the
mail arrives, it sorts it into the right account as far as your visual
views and mailboxes are concerned.

The AVG AV knows nothing about accounts, it only knows data coming in
and out of a port addressed to your email client. It checks the data,
then hands it off to your email client if it's clean. Doesn't matter
where it comes from.

John,
There might have been a really quick fix available here rather than waiting
2-3 days for an answer from Grisoft.
And yes, I have paid for it!
