The problem with AVG is updates are provided on a low priority basis.

Only one automatic daily update and no technical support. With that aside AVG is in the top five free anti-virus programmes.

It's always best to run a once a month online scan to cross check your own one.

1. How many daily updates does NAV do? I recall 1 a day there, too.

2. Have you ever tried dealing with Syamtec support? I've never needed support for AVG, versus several issues I've had to contact Symantec about or comb through their knowledgebase.

1. I got Norton and I have noticed on some days I get more than one up date. I've never had problems with Norton at all for the 3 years I've had it. May be it the luck of the draw.

2. No problem with their help centre, I have always found them to be fast in solving the problem.

Syamtec is a hit and miss with people who have had different results from them from to but I confess near the end of the year I am reviewing the renew cost.
