    god it is a pain getting it to do normal auto scans tho after a download, it doesn't have the nice avgse.exe anymore. Got it working in most, but its a pain, still haven't gotten it to work properly with download statusbar for Firefox.

    I just recently installed version 6 !! Its a brilliant job, totally removed a load of worms on the PC after 5 or 6 scans. Is there much of a difference between 6 and 7 ??

    On the surface not a huge amount. As gideon pointed out even a few things not as good. But overall, imho, worth upgrading (well you will have to by the end of the year anyway). I am sticking it on all my familes PCs as the auto update on network connection clinches it for me. Saves reminding to click update button once in a while :rolleyes:

    You should stay with 6 for a moment, maybe they'll fix the little niggles with 7 by the time 6 is due to go. Having said that now I've upgraded it i'll probally leave it there, just that scan when ya download thats bugging me.

    Good to see the email scanner comes with this time tho.
