Fake Security Alert :
Above all else, ALWAYS run anti-virus software, and ensure it is up-to-date : AVG, Norton, CA, McAfee, Kaspersky, & Avast are common, trusted applications we recommend. If you bought a new computer, and it came with a 30, 60, or 90-day trial which has expired, be sure to renew it, or replace it with one of these software packages.
AVG has released an update to its popular free anti-virus program. Version 9.0 is available by updating from 8.5 or directly from http://www.avg.com. Version 9.0 is still offered in a free form, but it takes a bit of hunting to find it.
So far, I’ve found its performance to be a little slower than 8.5, but hopefully a few updates over the next few weeks will fix it.
