Title: End Of Avg 6.0 Support
Post by: Leaderz0rz on October 26, 2004, 09:34:13 AM: Grisoft announces the end of support for AVG version 6.0 effective on December 31, 2004 for technical reasons. This version has been available since 1999. Its structure does not allow for further improvements planned for version 7 nor improvements in detection techniques expected to come in the future.

End of support means we will no longer provide program updates or Virus Database updates for version 6.0 and therefore, within days, this version will not protect against new virus outbreaks!

Post by: Grimm on October 26, 2004, 02:38:17 PM: I actually don't scan my computer as often as I should, although I do have AVG installed. I should probably update that and give my system a good check through...

P.S. You saw nothing! :ph34r:

Haf. I hope it doesn't abuse those viruses too much. It wouldn't be politically correct if they were in too harsh of conditions.

I've never had a problem with any computer virus. NAV CE works great for me.
