[Ham-Computers] RE: AVG antivirus

[Hsu, Aaron (NBC Universal)]

Might want to have GI6IVX visit here:

  http://free.grisoft.com

Yes, 7.1 is going away, but the "free" version of 7.5 was recently released.  Link to the download page:

I don't use AVG on my day-to-day computer(s), but have installed it for many people and it works great.  Haven't tried 7.5 yet, but will probably get around to it soon.

73,

Hi,

The following came over the beacon reflector I'm subscribed to.  I thought it might be of interest here since I know some members use the AVG virus tools.
