:lol:

Lots of suckage there. AVG has sucked since 8.0 came out though. I switched over to Symantec Corp 10.2 and have been really happy with it.

Fixed. Symantec Corporate edition runs very well.

We’re forced to use it at work but after having for several months I decided to install a copy by choice at home. Even on my real shitty desktop it runs great. You just have to turn off the “quick” scan it tries to do at startup.
