W32.Beagle.AO@mm
« on: August 13, 2004, 05:52:03 AM »
I am using AVG Free on win98se.  Grisoft will not answer me if detection is provided for "W32.Beagle.AO@mm
Other Names - W32/Bagle.aq@MM, WORM_BAGLE.AC, Win32.Bagle.AG"  Does Avast Home edition provide this protection?  What benefit to switch from AVG?  How difficult?
Thanks

Max,

Yes, Avast does detect the Beagle virus.
Avast Home is free and very easy to install.
Avast also protects your email automatically.
Avast has auto update for both program and database.

Why wait!  Download it now.
Any problems, we are here to help.

While your on the Avast download site, download a copy of the Avast Virus Cleaner as well.  It is nice to have.

Good luck
Techie

As far as I know, Yes.
The benefit in switching is getting a good AV program like Avast! and the Home addition is free for home use.
To remove AVG, run the uninstall program in the Control Panel Add/Remove Programs.
Don't forget to register Avast! The registration is free and is good for 14 month.
Hope that helps.

Since Beagle is a ITW (In The WIld) virus, every av normally detecs it. Most av's (if not all) have a list of viruses they detect. Most av companies have that list also on their website.

All the above that was mentioned, and the fact that there is free help here, even for the home (free) edition of avast, which is run by the avast team. Being an ex avg user i know avg doesn't provide support for the avg free users.

Avast also updates its virus definitions at least twice a week.

Thanks to all for your quick response.  I am looking forward to having support for this program.  AVG is removed, Avast Home is up and running.  Very smooth process.
Thanks again!
