Hi NeedzHelp!

AVG6 is a good AV, even better, it's free. I have not heard of any conflicts yet between AVG and SP2. You can set up scheduling for automatic updates by double-clicking the AVG icon in your Taskbar and then click on the Update Manager tab. It's pretty easy.

If you would like lightning-fast updates go see this thread here in this forum: CastleCops Link/postt66378.html and follow the instructions.


All the best!

Nope. Unlike other AV programs, updates on AVG are usually pretty quick. If you want an update in 30 seconds or less -- that's lightning fast. I'm on DSL btw, not broadband. Wink
