From: PC Tech UpTime, AVG Authorized Reseller
DATE: June 20, 2009 AVG is without a doubt the best security software to install on your computer. The Free version is available at: www.avgfree.com. It is for private personal use. For those in business there are several professional versions is available with 1 or 2 year subscriptions. You can get from 1 to 100 licenses. The best deal is the Internet Security (3) pack with a two year subscription for $99.98. AVG beats nearly all the software that comes loaded on PCs today. Check out a 30-day trial version today and see. Nothing beats the stability and protection while being so easy to use. Check out our site to find out more! http://www.pctechuptime.com Austin, technician -------------------------------- "GT" wrote: I'm not going to renew my current antivirus subcriptions.
