AVG Internet Security 2011 64 Bit

[aem]

For some reason I cannot install this. I could on W7 but not on W8/WDP?

Anyone?

Have you checked on the AVG Forums to see if there is any such discussion going on?
Or if you have the paid version check with Support.....

 

[aem]

That was my initial findings, AVG gives you free versions but with less featuresw all the time, i don't think a paid one will impact the installation.

aem,
Just spoken with my local AVG reseller.
The advice is NOT to use it with WIN 8 at this early stage.

Thanks for that. AVG will no doubt make it work at a latter date.

+ rep.

I am on their mailing list to get all news pertaining to AVG / Win 8 immediately.
Expectations at this stage is later in Beta.

In recent years, AVG was problematic anyhow. You are probably better off using MSE which works well.

Nah i like AVG, it's simple to use.

As indeed do I and millions of other users also.
Hooray for freedom of choice!

In my computer club we had 6 triple booted system heavily infected - AVG was the installed AV program on all systems. It took 3 people one week to get everything back in order. Since then I would not touch AVG with a 10 foot pole.

You have been dining out on that story for yonks as I recall....

There are some things in life that really get to you - and that is one of them. BTW: why are you bolding everything ?

Just saw a show on TV about wild camels in your outback - in the Alice Springs area. Very interesting, but they seem to become a plague.

The art of AV is not to get a virus in the first place, cleaning a virus is a different ball game.

Another holy war. The best AV is not clicking it in the first place. From a strictly BSOD perspective only, MSE does seem to cause less BSOD's but my only infection was when using MSE.

BTW I dont use AVG.

 

[JMH]

Now the dust settles....
Back on topic.

LOL, yeah, I've seen that more times than I care.
Still, I respect whs greatly but I wish he wouldn't perpetuate such anecdotal instances.

I've been using AVG for years. It's still on my Win7 system (when I boot it) but I'm leaving Defender to do the the work in Win8 8102 ... for now.

Jan, I'm with ya on AVG. I love it!

You are an MVP, which means you are banned from using thirdparty softwares. Rightfully no AVG for you.

Re using, let alone actually liking AVG.{ Shock, horror!!!}
Yes some of us leave the herd to do our own thing.....
Vive la différence!

Avast all the way !

~I hope Avast will become W8 compatible soon, until there... MSE ~
