End of Support for AVG 6.0
Grisoft announces the end of support for AVG version 6.0 effective on December 31, 2004 for technical reasons. This version has been available since 1999. Its structure does not allow for further improvements planned for version 7 nor improvements in detection techniques expected to come in the future.

End of support means we will no longer provide program updates or Virus Database updates for version 6.0 and therefore, within days, this version will not protect against new virus outbreaks!

Current AVG 6.0 users should upgrade to AVG 7.0. Information on upgrading to version 7.0 can be found at http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_upgrade.php.

The trouble is, people will still get it free, but no longer legally.

I've been thinking of dumping AVG for a while, so this looks like a good time to do so.  I've been thinking of trying AVAST, which is a free anti-virus program.  Does anyone else use it and if so, would they recommend it?
