Actually that isn't correct.
I use AVG at home and a very good antivirus application it is too.
I use SAV10 from the makers of Norton AV on the network in the office.
I have over 40 licences. I'd quite happily use the paid for AVG at
work. Or Kaspersky or any one of a half dozen paid for anti virus
apps. But SAV10 does anything they can do and does it just as well.
Tests show they are all generally about the same with some being
better one year and another the next. No anti virus app is 100 percent
effective but all of the main ones are near enough the same.
I don't use the domestic version but the corporate version has a
doscan.exe runs on startup. That slows everything down to a crawl.
Instructions on the Symantec site for the registry fix. I suspect the
domestic version may well have the same problem
