Bad move Grisoft

AVG does have a Web Shield like feature. Behavior Shield (or equivalent) was added to AVG Free in version 2011

One more note.
While I was in Arizona doing the avast! security seminars, almost every person using AVG 2011 complained that the new version
is extremely system intensive. Something they never ran into with the previous version.
These aren't my words but something I was told repeatedly since most of the folks I talked to where AVG users.

That was also my experience with AVG 2011 on 7 64bit.
 
Fortunately I uninstalled it just before the bad definition update.

And fortunately I wasn't online when when avast! had it's bad definition fiasco.

Everyone makes mistakes.

I'm really good at making mistakes, I've had lot of experience making them.

Thanks Vlk.
But it was too much wine in the dinner... I'll try to read it tomorrow. I'm asleep

Interesting, i've had no problems running AVG 2011 on weak netbook. But there were other massive problems with it so even if it works fine it's not too good.

- I think the point of the original poster was just to inform the people here on our forum that MajorGeeks is abandoning AVG (a similar thread was also started over at Wilders, DSLreports and other security-related forums). It's certainly an interesting move from MajorGeeks, and maybe also a slight opportunity for us to acquire some new (ex-AVG) users. But nothing more... no one is trying to mock a competing product.

Thanks

Exactly what I had in my mind.
