So the choice is a bit simpler now: renew my subscription to AVG's virus updates while keeping my current version of 7.5, or consider alternative antivirus-only packages such as NOD.
Exactly. IMHO, it's not clever to put all your eggs in one basket. Keep separate antivirus, firewall and antispyware programmes for both flexibility and security in the off chance something ever gets corrupted from within!!
I've had good experiences with Panda, but as a "home" user I am not going to pay for what AVG gives me for free!
