Free Antivirus Software is a Pretty Good Deal



Are you paying for antivirus software when you could have it for free?

VentureBeat is reporting that AVG (which offers its basic antivirus package for free) now has 110 million users. I have it on my own PC. It was put there by the tech guy who got rid of my trojan - a virus I got despite having a paid antivirus program that got updated daily. AVG has begun competing with McAfee and Symantic.

Free is a price that's been working well for AVG, as well. The offer some paid products. The Amsterdam-based company has seen its revenue increase 75% a year for eachof the last three years.
