OK, AVG is pissing me off. I refuse to restart my computer every day in order to update the virus definitions.

So, what's the recommendation for a free antivirus prog that doesn't have you restarting your computer more than once a month?

**jmaker** · 05-18-2008, 10:51 AM

That's weird, I've never had to restart AVG after it updates.

BlackBriar · 05-18-2008, 02:22 PM

well, I'm using AVG free, and I'm satisfied with it, easy to use and has served me well since I got it. And yeah I also don't have to restart my PC after updates....

Thats one reason mine goes days without updating. I feel your pain.

**DrunkenPirate** · 05-18-2008, 07:25 PM

Avast updates pretty much everyday for me but only requires a restart once every 6-8 weeks. Mainly due to core program updates.

What version are you guys running? I'm running 7.5.524 and it won't apply updates without a PC restart about 90% of the time now. I'm running WinXP Pro, if that matters...

**Tonk** · 05-19-2008, 06:06 PM

8.0 just became free, and it actually said that i have to update from 7.x to 8.0 because 7.x is no longer supported..

**Bamboo** · 05-19-2008, 07:30 PM

Here is some stuff on the 8.0

Been using Bit Defender and with hourly updates, it's great.

**brain21** · 05-19-2008, 07:45 PM

I love AVG, it's been easy to use and wasn't intrusive. Then my dad made me switch to CA Antivirus. It's horrid.

I heard BitDefender is the best out there, dunno if it's true.

**jmaker** · 05-20-2008, 07:41 AM

I'm using the latest version of AVG.
