That's interesting, I put the free version of AVG on my computer at work just a couple months ago - supposedly our office LAN is protected somehow (via the server I guess), but it has not stopped stuff from ending up on other people's PCs, so whatever "protection" we've got I don't trust it.
Anyway I've got it on there and I have no trouble accessing Subsim from that PC.
*cough*
Not that I would ever try.
