Now whether WD would catch something that AVG suite might miss is another issue but, I've not spotted anything that AVG caught, that WD missed. Last year, after finding that WD was not happy co-existing with AVG, ( or vice-versa ?! ), I did some testing with a biggish batch of malware, all of which WD intercepted before AVG did. After removing WD, AVG caught it all, so, reluctantly, I removed WD from my main PC. regards, Richard

You'd neglected to mention in the original post that your were using AVG *Suite*. This being the case, the use WD is redundant. -- Bruce Chambers Help us help you: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555375 They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~Benjamin Franklin Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. ~Bertrand Russell The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers. ~ Denis Diderot

I think we're partially at cross purposes here, i.e. you're more right than I, in that the OP did say "AVG anti-virus" (possibly 'free" ?), and not, as I started rambling on about - "AVG Internet Security suite" :-) regards, Richard > > > > -- > > Bruce Chambers > > Help us help you: > http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html > > http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/555375 > > They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary > safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. ~Benjamin Franklin > > Many people would rather die than think; in fact, most do. ~Bertrand > Russell > > The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has > killed a great many philosophers. > ~ Denis Diderot |
