I'm so sorry Stuart and Mike (+ anyone else still awake), it looks
like AVG Free 2012 can no longer be installed.
Before emailing it, I tried to re-install it on one of our machines,
but it came up as "This programme is Obsolete" and would not proceed
further. I tried other things but got the same stubborn result.
Bearing in mind I achieved a satisfactory installation only last
Saturday, it looks like there was a time limit on it - 1st April at my
guess. Perhaps not surprising if it was replaced c. 18 months ago. So
on that basis I won't email it after all, sorry about that.
But the crucial question is: Do AVG Free 2012 installations still
work? They appear to do so on all our machines, including installing a
valid update received only 30 mins ago. So it looks as if the answer
(for the moment) is Yes, but watch out for End-of-life messages..
I've upgraded one of our machines to AVG free 2014 and will report
back on that.
