Re: AVG Anti-Virus 7.5 Professional - FREE

jmorlan Hmm... That's funny.

You've got to provide a valid email that the registration code is sent to. This is not true. I downloaded the program from the original site and the installation did not ask for a license code; the license code was already pre-filled in during the install. No email was needed to get a full working licensed version.

They always say that "free stuff" is the easiest way to get people to give away their personal information. Right now it's speculation that they'll ask for more than an email but I wouldn't be surprised. Negligible. Email is disposable and "personal info" does not have to be fact. I'm wondering what the nasties are that will be included in the download other than the app itself. -- The Toll Let's Go Flyers!

What's in it for vnudownloads.com, AKA Chris Wiles? I find it extremely difficult to believe that Mr. Wiles is giving away a profl app out of the kindness & generosity of his heart.
