' Wrote:...and 13cent, I'm hunting you down and blowing you out of the sky when I get back to the states for even mentioning AVG.
Have fun...But I could probably list 10 things why to use AVG. Oh, what do you know? Here they are...
1. Update manager uses bandwidth according to what your doing. When I'm in Freelancer, AVG will check and download at 50KB/s but if I'm in the desktop, it will go full-speed.
2. The updated AVG is probably the only Anti-Virus I know that can fully utalise the Intel Centreno/Core2Duo V-Pro technology.
3. The resident sheild, link checker, anti-spyware, web-sheild and anti-virus use next to no memory.
4. My machine benchmarks the same when its running compaired to when its not. No decrease in performance.
5. ANNOYANCE LEVEL 0! It doesn't have a stupid game mode that is extra loose on ports and firewall crap! Its great. Avast, Bit-Defender and NOD32 are HORRIBLE for that!
6. With Vista, it works with Freelancer and every other game I play.
7. The registration lasts 3 years, not 1. I hate 1 year registrations. its a rip-off. AVG is cheap as chips.
8. Their help desk is instant. They reply to emails in minutes not in 3 days.
9. Every abnormal operation doggy website and other activity's and things that it has done is logged and saved. Not many would care, but its important to me.
10. AVG halts your connection until all functions are online. Once your system is idoling, and start-up programs are initiated, it will updated. So you don't notice any kind of slow down or lag in game.
Besides. Sophos is the best Anti-Virus known to man right now in my opinion. If you have the money and really want to be safe...Use that!:cool:
