Hmmm, that's an idea. I think our son has high speed and my husband's
computer is a laptop (in a docking station) so it might be fairly easy to
try that approach.

G'day Joy,
I had that problem when I had dial up.
seems to "time out"
best to have a friend download it that has Broadband.
Took about 12 mins IIRC on broadband
I think it worth the effort.
AVG is marvelous.

My husband has Win 98 and had AVG (free) anti-virus in it, but had the
old
(7.1) version. We've been trying to download their current version
(7.5)
and twice it got almost finished (takes a LONG time, he has dial-up)
and
there was a problem and it quit. Does anyone know if perhaps that
version
of AVG isn't compatible with Win 98? Thanks for any help or
suggestions



I've installed it on a number of win98 machines and it works fine
