AVG Antivirus Free Edition — 

I have been a fan of AVG for a long time.  They actually had bought out a company called Edwido.  I downloaded their software for the first time in excess of five years ago.  Its a good free backup in addition to what you have downloaded already on your coputer for virus, adaware, and malware protection.  AVG picks up items that your current software may not detect and asks you if you are ready to get rid of it and then does so all in a safe, self-contained way so that an inexperienced user will not damage his or her computer.  I would certainly recommend this company to both advanced and amateur users.  At least try it and see what you think.  Its very easy to run and watch to see what it picks up.  You will know if its picking up errors, viruses, adaware, and malware while it is running and you can actually see when and where it is coming from if you understand the way your computer is set up.  I love it and think you all should try it out if you don't have an Antivirus program you love and can't live without.  If worst comes to worst and you don't love it, uninstall it.  Its free, you really cannot go wrong!

Thank you, I am glad you like it! I've really gotten good use out of it, also!
