I recently upgraded to Windows Vista and found that my new operating system wasn’t compatible with my anti-virus software. So, I jumped out onto the net to find something different that did work with Vista. I found it in AVG Free Edition. AVG is a free (though with a commercial product as well) anti-virus suite that works amazingly well. It even caught some infected files on some of my backups that my previous (big name commercially available software) anti-virus software didn’t find. Most importantly, it worked flawlessly in Windows Vista.
A lot of people are going without AV simply because they cannot afford it. AVG is an excellent way to protect your information and assets when you’re on a budget.
