Yuh fair enough, I haven't used AVG in a while, and if it is going down that
route, then I ditch it. I'm surprised people do that. Businesses won't use
software like that, because they have people (hopefully) in charge of their
networks who aren't stupid enough to. If Sophos has the features you are
looking for, I'd still recommend it as a potential replacement to the
others.
