Spyware, viruses, & security : How do you get AVG for a first-time AVG user?

That way has always worked for me, Julea

The license # has always been filled in automatically for me. I've never had to fill it in.

The download link you want is: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/lng/us/tpl/v5

Hey guys thanks -- after I posted this I tried something

I went to www.grisoft.com and in the SEARCH block in upper right of webpage, typed in free AVG. It took me to the page you provided me with.

Evidently the file I downloaded from the page I was working from -- http://www.grisoft.com/doc/71/lng/us/tpl/tpl01 -- is a different download than what comes off the other page. (Have I totally confused you -- LOL)

I notice the file name is the same EXCEPT the file from page I went to is Set-up File avg71f_375a703.exe

The file from your page is the same except the word free is shown instead of f_

Guess they are not the same files. When I get back to her PC, I'll go your route.

Thanks guys.

P.S. For some reason I'm unable to make a post to cnet from her PC. I can get to the site and log in and type my post; however, when I click on SUBMIT, the page just bounces back up at me -- round and round -- it will never "GO". That's another problem, I'm sure.

Hi James -- the problem was cnet -- and evidently they

are still having some problems. They aren't as bad as the other day, but I'm still not being able to get in once in awhile today. There are better days ahead, I'm sure. They work hard to keep us happy.

Thanks for your info though.

You already have the answer

but for someone who doesn/t, yes, you can copy to a CD, thumb drive, etc and copy to her machine. This is what I do any time I set up a PC for myself or someone else. I like to have virus protection running before I visit the web just in case. I saw a report here several years ago where a young lady went to the web for thefirt time to register her brand new PC and was zapped pretty bad. That's an exception but I don't want to share her troubels.

(NT) You SHOULD be able to do that Julea. :)

I'm very familiar with Avast and do like it.

In my spare time (LOL), I help fellow computer club members and friends keep their PC's up to snuff. I'm very familiar with it and like how it talks to you!

Guess I'm just a diehard AVG fan as I have used it for several years. Maybe I should break the mold.

Thanks for your response.

Good program except

if you are using Zone Alarm Pro where there is a known compatability problem. Works okay with the free version of ZA I am told
