There are warnings around on a lot of techie sites about the newest AVG. I deleted it and now I'm using Avast. I'm on dial up, too, and I find Avast very fast. The daily updates are done in a flash.

Thank's Carmy i will give avira a go for now but will keep avast in mind. It took 3 hours to download avira and then 64 min to update. I get 4 hours per dial up. How long did avast take could i download it ok. I couldn't download avg 8 in 4 hours so had to get it on a memory stick via broadband.
all the best

Hi Alf,
Wow! That's a long time. I had Avira at one time but several people were complaining about different problems with the program so I switched to Avast. I don't remember that it took 3 hours to download, but I've had it a while.
I do daily updates and even the biggest update took just over a minute.
I don't think I can post the link here (not allowed) but a good site to join is Community Feedback. It used to be on MSN before the groups closed. I check it daily because they know about problems as soon as they happen. They used to recommend AVG but they don't any more. Maybe take a look because they're also very good at helping with any computer problems you may have. The people there are very friendly.
Good luck!

You're welcome, Alf.
Community feedback is great. I'd hate to be without them, because they've solved many problems and mysteries for me.
