Please ignore my stupidity but the the 7.5 version has an S in the little icon by the windows clock.
When you click on it it is called AVG anti Spyware whereas the old version is anti-virus. Hae I downloaded the wrong version? I may be wrong but I thought they were both different and both neccessary? Cheers Dave |

I think AVG and Avast are the same company now. Malwarebytes is good for anti-malware and has a free version.
