No more virus updates are planned for after that date.

Thanks for the info Dave.

I changed to Anitivr's Avira a few weeks ago ...  I like it .... it updates every day automatically .....   so far so good !

I too have dumped AVG and am using AntiVir.............auto updates, no e-mail scanner which is a blessing and very light on system resources, when it is whirring away in the background it's using less than 6 Mgbs of memory, never looked to see what usage during a scan but the scans are nice and quick.

In the same thread as this that I posted in CA, Ade pointed out this program that I have downloaded and will tryout over the next week or two:

No real complaints on CNET download site and there are well over 100,000 downloads of variants of it.

Will keep you informed.
