Kiwi33,
I am back with my first smartphone and connected up by family for the first time since Dial-up days. The first thing I did was download AVG onto my phone and laptop (well, I had my son-in-law do it), and then I added it to my new tablet as soon as it came out of the box.
I agree with you that it is a great product, and you cannot beat peace of mind. I also have anti-theft, remote camera etc on my phone.
The thing to remind everyone is to keep your anti-virus software up to date. Even though I use my laptop infrequently - the weight hurts and the screen bothers my vision - I still log on every couple of months and update everything.

Dave.

I agree 100%.

It does not matter how good some anti-virus software may be - if its malware definitions are not up to date (preferably automatically) then it will not be able to do its job.
