Question
Hi Lorry,

Thanks for getting back to me and also for the info. Now, with the free download of AVG do you get a registration and serial number and a License when you download the free AVG and again is it safe if you don’t have the serial number and register and will the free AVG also have spyware and adware and is it the spyware and adware another free download such as spybot and free or what is another free spyware and adware and again do you need to register and have a serial number and license and if not just download and I am safe and no expiration date on this either and if I need to reformat my computer just redownload the spyware and adware just like AVG just like you said?

Thanks Lorry.

Sincerely your,

Martin C.  Meyer.

Answer
Hi Martin,

No you don't get serial or registration number when downloading AVG

Besides the sites I gave you last time, check out:

http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html

If you reformat, you can just download the newest version of AVG, Spybot or Malwarebytes.

Hope this helps!
Lorry

This happens to be of interest to me as it boggles my mind that people have nothing better to do than to write a virus. Wish these people, the ones who write viruses would put the knowledge to good use instead. My job as a local tech involves removing viruses and/or spyware.
