[Publib] AVG, was re: anti-virus

[Kathleen McCorkle]

We have AVG on four public and one staff computer and I just schedule
time once a week to up date.  My newer staff computer doesn't even need to be restarted, it keeps the up date.  Two public have key locked centurion guard and two have the software for locking the hard drive.  We do have to sign on as admin but it really doesn't take that much time considering the very low cost.  We have been using AVG for seven years and have never had a problem with a virus on any computer.

  I've been using AVG at home and like it very well. I've been 
  considering switching our staff and public computers to AVG from 
  Norton, but we've been using the Microsoft Shared Computer Toolkit to 
  lockdown the public machines. It's worked well for us, since we're 
  small and only have five public machines, but to update virus 
  definitions with Norton, you have to log on as the admin. With 
  Norton, I always when new definitions were available because the 
  staff machines would let me know with their updates.

  AVG's daily updates are a good thing, but I don't want to have to run 
  updates every day, five times over. I know I can just run updates on 
  a weekly schedule, but I was wondering if anyone has a better (but 
  still free or at least very cheap) solution for automatic updates.
