AGH my pirated avg 8.0 came up saying it was pirated
any1 know how to stop this coming up dont want parents to see him

 

lol why would your parents care about that? XD
Btw you can just download the free version of AVG 8 from free.avg.com.

 

avg WAS good (prior to 8.0). i'm sure many members will agree that the ones i listed are far superior

 

They've all got little foibles

AVG was the one that: deleted system files, started going off to download files from google searches (increasing your traffic and slowing down your internet).

Kaspersky: messed up with a few updates in version numbers meaning you couldn't get on the internet IIRC

Avast: A lock up on Vista systems about last September due to an update that slowed your system down to an unimaginable rate.

Norton: Just evil (Fixed a laptop for someone yesterday where it would lock at the main loading screen. Fix was just remove Norton ). What can you say about software that you have to download a seperate app to make sure you delete it properly.

NOD32: Detects Wiiscrubber 1.0 as a trojan (as it says "probably agent trojan").

etc......

 

It was one I was fixing for someone. The machine had ground to a halt after the Avast update he did. Uninstalling Avast and re-installing fixed it.

(It's probably my AV of choice)

 

avira antivir for me

free, good, and the pop-up ad can be supressed

 

i dont like AVG
it takes more than a year to finish scanning my pc and it detects most of my files as virus

now im using norton 2009 which is compared to the older version is far superior, now it doesnt drain your ram memory (it uses less). the scanning are way faster than avg ( completed a full scan in less than a hour)
