Is it just me or is this newest version of AVG a pain in the &*$% ?
It has a lot more features than the previous versions, but it seems to hang sometimes when it wants to update and for the last couple of scans, it KEEPS telling me the "Print Shop" software (which I've had installed for ages) is possibly infected.
Is there a better, free anti-virus program that would be recommended? I have un-installed the Print Shop software for now so it will stop being picked up as a problem.
Thanks in advance.I used AVG for a few YEARS, but gave up version 8 as a pain. I now use Avira, though I have seen Avast recommended as well.AVG 8 has been a problem for many users. I switched to Avast!, like it and have had no problems.

Best of luck.AVG8 has indeed been a major pain for many users, myself included. It caused me loads of trouble and it took a bit of work to get it running the way I like. If you're certain that your program is not infected, you could add it to AVG's exceptions. However, if you would like to use a different program, Avast! and Avira are both good choices.Same story here. I installed it (with big problems) on my XP, and kept it for testing reasons.
Finally, tonight I got fed up.
For last couple of weeks. it kept flagging three legit Online Armor firewall files.
You can mark them "Ignore", but next time you restart computer, they're FLAGGED again.
Tonight, I said, FU, and went for Avira on XP.Thanks everyone...I'm going to play with the SETTINGS & if I can't get to work smoothly in the next day or TWO I am going to try Avast!
Thanks again.
