Good Site to Download AVG

[Guest Brad]

Hi,

 

I have a dial-up connection. I can't afford high speed.

 

I tried to download AVG anti-virus software (45MB) from the following site

below, but after 1.5 hours, a problem occurred with the download.

 

http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Virus-Free-Edition/3000-2239_4-10320142.html?part=dl-AVGAntiVir&subj=dl&tag=button

 

Note: I did this very early one morning, but the download rate was 30kbs!

Normally, I can download around 53kbs early in the morning.

 

A Google search found so many places to download AVG, that I was

overwhelmed. What is a good site to download AVG?

 

Thanks in advance, Brad

Consider Avast. (About 23MB). I have used both and it's only my opinion, but

I prefer Avast over AVG.

 

Choose Custom Installation and under Resident Protection, uncheck: Internet

Mail and Outlook/Exchange. You do not want e-mail scanning enabled if you

use Outlook Express, and it only slows things down more for those on dial-up

and does not affect your protection.

have you thought of having someone download it for you, write it to a cd/dvd for you to install.

Brad, for safety's sake I would only d/l security programs from trusted

sites. One that is trusted is http://www.majorgeeks.com. Click on the Antivirus

menu to the left. MG has many mirrors to d/l your files and is recommended

as a safe site.

You don't have much choice. 45 meg is 45 meg. Some sites are better

but.... I'd think about a friend with highspeed that can put it on a

thumb drive for you. That or thinking about a cheap DSL 19$ deal or

something. But then, you're probably out of range and HAVE thought

about it.

 

This is avg's server and now download.com.

http://www.grisoft.cz/filedir/inst/avg_free_stf_en_8_100a1295.exe

It might be faster from them?

AVG's site would be my first choice but get and use a download manager that

can resume broken downloads.

This is sound advice. I go further, and would recommend use of a

download helper even with a high-speed connection.

Good advice. Furthermore, from

http://free.grisoft.com/ww.download?prd=afe :

 

You can also download the new AVG Free 8.0 directly from our server:

Why ask HERE? Where you get the virus software, or even what virus

program you want to use, has NOTHING to do with XP. Heck, AVG is not

even provided or sold BY Microsoft.

 

Ask elsewhere

Re: Good Site to Download AVG

 

Piggybacking on what Big Al said, you have to sign up for a year, but

Verizon has 768k service for $12.99 for the 1st 6 months, and $17.99 for 2nd

six. You can get it online. And in Florida, (at least in Melbourne) you can

get Bell South 768 service, now ATT, for only $10/month for 12 months...but

once again, you have to go online for it. Now $10 is probably what yo0u're

paying for dialup.
