AVG Antispyware updates

[Lisandro]

I never changed from the old Ewido and so far, no problems with updates.   

I've read (can't find where...) that ewido support will end at the beginning of the next year, forcing all to move to AVGas.
Is this true?

I've read it somewhere too... maybe in forums,, hell knows

I haven't read anything directly about ewido support ending, but it something to be expected, then who knows, move to avg-as or another anti-spyware. I know I won't put up with poor update servers, that was a major reason for dumping AVG AV for avast over two and a half years ago.

I have been looking at other anti-spyware programs, Superantispyware and spyware terminator, they lasted about two weeks each, neither of which are still on my system. I much preferred the Ewido interface, speed and stability. I may even be forced to look at paid for options

I almost gave up on SpyBot for this reason... Yeah, I've left AVG years ago because of this and the poor configurability of its antivirus
