Anti-spyware programs tested

That suggests a vote of no confidence, In. 

That suggests someone with a " if it aint broke, don't break it " it background to me .. Simon.

Actually, despite my concerns, I am impressed with AVG 8 so far, it does take longer to scan than AVG 7.5, but that isn't really a problem.

I'd never have guessed that, In.

Would that be because it now also scans for spyware, perhaps?

Probably Simon, I did have AVG Spyware as a separate entity, AVG 8 incorporated it.


The only thing I don't like is the " Linkscanner " that checks web pages for security, that really slows things down, and only does what Mc Afee Site Advisor does it seems, I have disconnected Linkscanner, I may carry out another AVG 8 install and manually opt out of Linkscanner, if possible.

In general terms, I am impressed.
