Avg V Avast

[martymas]

some thing happened to me today

for sometime ive used avast

and i keep it uptodate

but today i got the little red sheild

in my tray telling me

my av wasent up to date

i went to security center

and the virus option was turned off

having heard rumors

i went and had a look at avg

and in the website i saw

were avg and microsoft were in some

sort of agreement

so i installed avg just for curiosty

and lo and be hold

security center said i was up to date

so any one not using avg take note of their

update notices

i prefer avast but that dam red shield bugs me

Interesting news, Marty:-) I've tried AVG, it is quite good. Thanks for the update, man!

Hmm, on my system with avast ; the windows security center has no problem recognizing it and knowing it is up to date.

Personally, I prefer it to AVG; but still am willing to pay for F-Secure for full protection.

I'm wondering if you need to re-register and get another Avast key. You can get at the Avast site.

avast! 4 Home Edition works for 60 days after the installation in demo mode. You will obtain your FREE license key by E-mail after the registration. The license key is valid for 1 year. After one year you will need to just re-register.

Check Here and see. It could be whats happening...or something else.

I'm using Avast and have been for a few years now....it updated yesterday.

Update avast! 4.x VPS (released: 23.11.2006, version: 0650-2)

I'll have to give Avast another look, Pete. I've never tried F-secure. Is F-secure better than Norton AV 2006?
