[Hidden-tech] Free anti-virus for PC?

[Kiernan G-S]

Wendy,

No risk with AVG. Just that the most recent editions have gotten more and
more bloated. Installing toolbars and with large "buy the paid one" pop ups
etc. Mostly its that the system footprint (how much ram/processor cycles it
uses)  has increased a lot compared to products like Avast and Microsoft
Security Essentials. Not worth it.

Thanks,
Kiernan Gulick-Sherrill
