Esteban, it certainly seems as if AVG is trying to discourage free AVG users - judging by how hard it is to find the updates. I will look into Avast! Thank you. Gottfried

Esteban, I installed Avast! but did not activate the e-mail protection because it involves routing e-mail through their server. Thinking about this. I seldom use that computer for e-mail using an e-mail client. Within a minute after the reboot following Avast! installation it automatically updated virus defs. Right now it's doing a scan of my HD. I checked the box to be notified by e-mail when updates are available. Gottfried
