is AVG anti virus a good free tool and is it safe?, thanks

It is good and it is safe, but I prefer the more full-featured EZ-Trust.
Microsoft has partnered with Computer Associates to offer a free
one-year's subscription to the EZ-Armor suite (av and firewall). A
better choice, I think:

In article <17c401c47bd5$c9fae4d0$ XXXX@XXXXX.COM >,  says...


Do not run two 'on access' virus scanners at the same time. Ever; they will 
trip over each other, and they may miss an infected file. You can use 
multiple scanners 'on demand', though, if you run only one at a time to scan 
the system.

Do you actually have an infection? Sometimes the anti virus program is not 
clear on what it is doing. Norton will attempt to "clean" a file, then put 
it in quarantine if it can't be "cleaned". Often enough, the file it can't 
clean is not a an infected system file, but the infection itself. If such a 
file is in quarantine, it is not in a position to infect your system.

Even so, running a removal tool should be pretty harmless; if there is no 
infection, it just won't find anything to do. So, it won't hurt to run it, 
if you want to be certain. You should disable an 'on access' virus scanner 
while running a removal tool, though; especially if the tool is from a 
different vendor than the 'on access' scanner.

Hi

Has anyone any experience of running AVG professional V7.0 on a Windows 2003
server?

I have a client who is having problems in that the server seems to randomly
go away with the fairies for a period of a few minutes. It almost seems that
the server is just looping and not allowing any access from outside.

They are running an Excel spreadsheet on a workstation and for no reason it
hangs. Wait a few minutes and it comes back again. This is happening on
several workstations. After much investigation everything seems to be
pointing to the AVG software on the server but we cannot prove anything.

Any help much appreciated

Check Grisoft's web site and verify that v7.0 is certified for Server OS's.

They make one for servers -  http://www.**--****.com/ 

Based upon Lanwench's post, your client needs AVG File Server Edition not AVG Professional
v7.0

Im using AVG antivirus and windows xp.
When I scans my computer and if it finds anything it will go to the virus 
vault.
Can they be removed from the fault and completely off my computer?
How?
Thank You 

Doesn't AVG have a Help file? I would think it would say how to do this
in there. If there is no Help file, I suppose you could just manually
delete the files but I'd certainly check with the vendor's support site
first (www.grisoft.com).

thank you

I installed a trial version of AVG and selected the create firewall option.
I restarted the computer and tried to send an email and got an error message
saying that the email could not be sent because I have a firewall.  I'm on
the only computer in my house and I have only one Internet connection.  I
uninstalled AVG because I'd like to use email. I sent an email to someone
and it got through.  The person replied and I got his email.

Do you know a way around this?  Not just with AVG but with other anti-virus
software?  I have Windows Firewall on and it doesn't block my emails. 
Thanks
