Does anyone still use AVG as their antivirus proggie?

A few months ago AVG prompted me to update, and the update seems to have cut out a lot of the features. The most noticable of which is that it seems to not fix viruses any more, just detect them and warn the user. I have it run tests at 6am every day, and today it found 3 files that were infected, though in the summary, it didn't say it deleted the files. I'm confuzzled. Anyone know if AVG pussied up and is shite now?
If so, I need another free AV program, because now I have 3 bad files on my computer and no way to fix em. :icon33:

Woot, I've heard Panda was damn good, but I didn't know they had a free online version!

I heard only gay porn contains viruses.
I've never had a virus so I wouldn't know.

I have it installed on my computer at work and I've noticed the same thing. It seems to be locking them down in the vault though and when it scans again it comes up clean so I guess it's working as its supposed to.

I dont use an anti-virus but NOD32 is supposed to be the best one that catches all the viruses.

Weve got Norton Corporate Virus Scan ver 8 at work, yet its fucked for some reason. It could detect a trojan or worm, fail to delete it even though it has the permission to do so, and then not detect it the next scan.

I have Norton at home. Lots of times it will detect trojans and worms, but cannot delete them. You then have to go to Security Response and download some removal tool

I'm running Corp 9 on both of my networks and haven't had any issues at all. Maybe a misconfiguration somewhere along the way? Some of the default settings suck.

Antivir is a decent free scanner.
