AVG Anti-Virus freeware

The update to the most recent editi0n is here. I continue to use it on one computer, happily. No program or suite is suitable in today’s online world as a standalone*. In fact, true protection isn’t available. More protection is available, to state that another way; invulnerability is absolutely unreachable. Add on Ad-Aware, WOT, Haute Secure, F-Secure, Secunia PSI (software updates), FireFox with the No-Script Add-on (and the consequent ability to only temporarily enable Flash, QuickTime…oh, hell, never mind; there are literally too many programs that run with only spotty protection)…and you have a bit of protection. Not as much as a condom at any time. 90% is a probable good estimate for excellent protection–i.e. 90% of attacks will be foiled immediately–with another 5-8% caught in scanning processes. With luck that fatal 2% is contained one way or another. I did forget to mention Spyware Doctor via Google as an essential in the protection process. Links to the protection programs mentioned are available in this blog; if you have questions, you can comment. Or ask that idiot @gmail.com. oregon something.
