As for software, if it's something that I use all the time and think it's good, I have no issue with paying for it. In AVG's case (and a couple of others) I'm quite happy to put something towards keeping them going etc. Well, with ISPs I’d normally say that the “Business” one is for >2 users, and/or those needing a static IP address for servers etc. Other than that, ’tis ‘domestic’ service so far as I’m concerned.

I didn't realise it had installed in this download - I really should've been paying more attention. As for AVG Free, I usually recommend it - although I've actually paid for a license now, as it can be seen as "commercial" due to using laptop and home PC for work purposes. I don't mind though - it cost me something like £40 for two years, and I'm quite happy to fund something that works as well as AVG does.

Uses bandwidth and slows everything down. AVG, however, is the best Value product around (ie free and, with SS removed, totally uninvasive). Safesearch is a complete PITB.
