Use of AVG Anti-Virus Free within any organization or for commercial purposes is strictly prohibited. AVG Anti-Virus Free is absolutely not for use with any type of OEM bundling with SW, HW component or any service.</p></blockquote> <p>So basically they forbid using the FREE version in markets where they can sell it.</p> <p>Free version = Make it popular<br /> Commercial version = Make money. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/487#post-2488 Wed, 28 Feb 2007 21:45:55 +0000 Alex373 2488@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>ya Probably I guess we should thank them then eh? </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/487#post-2450 Tue, 27 Feb 2007 21:32:38 +0000 BillW50 2450@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Because they want to make a name for themselves (which they are doing very well) with the free version. And then hoping you will pay for the Pro version perhaps? </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/487#post-2449 Tue, 27 Feb 2007 21:28:25 +0000 Alex373 2449@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Ok your right thanks for the advice. But why do they charge alot of money for the pro version then? </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/487#post-2381 Tue, 27 Feb 2007 00:09:59 +0000 BuBBy 2381@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>I use the <strong>free version of avg anti-virus</strong>. The 2 main differences between the free version and the pro version are:</p> <p>1) Powerful scheduling — Pro AVG automatically provides recommended daily schedules for scanning and updating, and also allows you to create custom-scheduled events. Free AVG scheduling provides a simplified scheduling mode only.</p> <p>2) Pro version is licensed for Commercial Use. Free version is not. (GOTD programs are not licensed for Commercial use).</p> <p>The benefit of a GOTD AVG giveaway over the free AVG version would, IMO be minimal.</p> <p>The free version is available at <a href="http://free.grisoft.com" rel="nofollow">http://free.grisoft.com</a> </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/487#post-2379 Mon, 26 Feb 2007 23:20:49 +0000 Alex373 2379@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Think you could get avg anti-virus pro from <a href="http://www.grisoft.com" rel="nofollow">www.grisoft.com</a> I would really appriecate it thanks </p>
