Re: AVG Anti-Virus FULL Retail Edition 8.0 FREE license...
The thing with viruses is that sometimes you don't even know you got one, especially if your antivirus software doesn't pick it up. After getting rid of AVG I got a commercial software in and it found dozens of nasty malware/spyware/trojans that were sitting on my computer, with AVG totally oblivious to it. AVG doesn't even pass some of the basic EICAR tests (which I tried myself). It really is the most overrated software out there, although I do see why it's popular, given that it's free and updates daily.
Now I stick to commercial products only. You can even get them for free if you know where to look. Not that I'm promoting piracy or anything...
