I received a notice my AVG Free Edition would no longer be supported after May 31st. They wanted me to upgrade to 8.0.

Instead, I uninstalled it and went to Avast! which I have on an older PC. Now, my laptop runs smoother and boots faster. And there are no more messages about having to reboot after updates. I’ve used both applications for years, but AVG just seem to get bloated over time. I’m glad I made the switch.

That's a shame. One of the reason I switched from Norton to AVG ( having used the free version years ago ) was AVG wasn't a drain on the system like Norton became.

I’ll check out Avast, thanks. It feels like my computer is pulling a Cadillac up the Rockies...very slow.

Where might I find AVAST and Revo? Is Revo free or must it be purchased? Thanks.
