Hi Paul

Chris is referring to clauses in the licenses, like the following two from
the AVG license:

---------------------------------------
2. You may install and use only one copy of the Software for single home or
non-commercial organization computer protection only, irrespective of the
number of times you download the Software or the number of licenses you
purport to accept.

3. You may not use the Software on a network or more than one PC.
---------------------------------------

You can see the full license at www.grisoft.com after you click "Download
AVG Free Edition".

Not only is it limited to non-networked boxes, you can't use it in a
commercial environment either. The "Professional" edition is pretty
reasonably priced though. This is a very clever twist on the shareware
concept :)

cheers-

Chris,

What do you mean when you say ;

"There are a number of free scanners, but nearly all of them

(including AVG) are not legal to run in a networked environment"

I wasn't aware that it was "Illegal" to run AVG in a networked

environment. What do you mean by this.

Thanks for the post,

Paul
