Re: AVG antivirus free version software in Windows Vista

Be a bit careful though. Don't use any program unless you can find a
reputable source that did a review on it. In the past week I have seen three
different fake anti-malware programs that actually are just carriers for
additional malware on your computer. As a starting point, don't install a
program that comes from a place that can't spell "malware" on its website.

The ones I saw were PCSecureSystem, PrivacyGuard, and SecurityDefender. All
three installers were also digitally signed.
