But they can be devious on their website, sending you round in circles
trying to find the free version.
Use this address instead.

Oh people, know that you have committed great sins.
If you ask me what proof I have for these words,
I say it is because I am the punishment of God.
If you had not committed great sins,
God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.

Re: OT:Best free AV software?

I get called in to fix malware / virus infected PCs on a regular
basis, and although I don't have personal experience of the new
release of AVG, I can tell you that every infected machine I was
called to with AVG installed had at least two active viruses.
There are two free AV apps that I would recommend:
a) Avast
b) Avira
Of the two, Avira has better detection, but is a little *too*
paranoid, so any keygens you have will be flagged as malicious,
whether they carry a payload or not.

DVD video files are quite different.

It creates a DVD compatible mpg - you need to specify the extension when
saving the file. You then need to author the DVD, using an authoring
program. Sorry, I didn't realise you were looking for an all-in-one
solution.
