    Internet Security Advice Required

    To all the IT Gurru's out there in Cyber Space!!

    Our AVG Internet security will expire in a couple of days and we need to re-new or replace. Someone has mentioned we should look at "Trent" as a possible replacement. We have 8 desktops and two laptops that would require security.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks, Jurgens.

    I'm happy with Kaspersky.

    I have been very happy with AVG up until a few weeks ago, when it began automatically prompting me for an upgrade to some new version.

    Fair enough, but when I try and download it (which it does automatically) to my Win7 64 bit PC it says it is not the right version...... Maybe the new version does not work in 64 bit?

    Might have to take a look at Trend byt the sound of things.

    I gave away AVG some time ago for the reasons listed here.

    Have you considered Microsoft Security Essentials

    It is well regarded and free for personal and small business use. (up to 10 machines)

    There are reviews of most well known security packages here av-comparatives.org
