AVG Anti-virus will not be free from next year


If you are running a Windows PC then you need some sort of anti-virus. I have installed AVG on my own Windows 98 box and on others belonging to friends as they provided a free version.

Unfortunately, from January, this version will not be supported any more. I may consider getting rid of Windows totally at home and just using Linux, but others should look at the available options. I don't know if there are any other free products, but there are plenty you can pay for at various prices.

Stay safe.

UPDATE: Okay, this may be a false alarm. There is still a free version available here. It may have just been that the previous version (7.1) is not being supported any more.

Let's see if this new feature works. I'll attach a picture and it should appear on my site.
