    My AVG anti virus is about to expire, so what I am asking is... Should I keep it another 2 years or switch to Bit Defender? IS THERE A DIFFERENCE? Is it better and use less resources? Or is there a better program out there? I mostly surf the internet. No gaming. I'm running an older machine with XP pro. Thanks in advance.

    IMHO: If AVG has been doing the job for you and you are happy with it...STICK with it.

    Check out all your options in Anti Virus link http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloads29.html

    Lots of free stuff and shareware, your choice.


    Personally I use Avast Free version, having switched a long time ago from Norton's Anti Virus, then AVG, now Avast.

    I like it because it operates quietly in the background and automatically updates without the need for user intervention. Bazza
