Dignan carpal tunnel Registered: 08/03/2000 Posts: 12318 Loc: Sterling, VA	I was very happy yesterday to see that there's a new free version of AVG. Now you can use version 7 of their software for free, and you don't have to go through the annoying email registration process. They've also improved the look of the program. _________________________ Matt

Any chance that this version will update silently in the background as a service, instead of showing the program window? _________________________ Tony Fabris

In the control center thingamabob there's a checkbox under the Update Manager properties for "show update status" or something like that. _________________________ - Tony C my empeg stuff

I know that on every other person's machine that I've installed ver.6 on, after a while the SP2 security center thing will say that it's out of date, even if you've been updating. Maybe we have MS to thank for fixing flaws, therefore forcing Grisoft to give us their updated software for free The biggest and best change in the program, however, is something I saw on the first machine I installed it on. With version 6, AVG would find a virus and let you know about it, telling you to run the program and remove it. Now it tells you about it, but gives you the option right there to heal, quarantine, or delete. Yes! _________________________ Matt
