I am considering dropping Norton AV and begin using the free AVG 8.5 AV

replies are appreciated.

My experience with AVG on clients' machines and from reading about it is
that it tends to be problematic and I don't install it. I recommend NOD32
(commercial) or Avast (free). Another good free antivirus is Avira Anti-Vir
but it has a nag screen. You can Google for how to disable it if you want
to use Avira instead of Avast.

One more knock on Avira . . . It requires a reboot upon completing an update. I hate having to boot twice each morning, so I'm going back to Avast.

Doesn't here....but then I'm using the paid-for Avira Premium....
