I've been using AVG for five years or so and I haven't even minded paying for it. Lately, though, they've stopped providing updates for my version and are expecting me to switch to their latest one -- which, however, doesn't work with my operating system.

Thanks for the recommendation, DocJohn, and thanks, _Sky, for bumping this thread. I've started preparations to deactivate AVG and download Avast! instead.
