Re: AVG Free - suitable for workstations at work?

Jeff,

I am an AVG Reseller and have been using the Network Edition for my
customers for years. This has an administration center that allows you
to control the AVG clients as well as get reports on them.

AVG is moving to what they call CloudCare. Same principal but instead of
running the admin on your own hardware AVG hosts it. One change they
made in the move to the cloud is that there anti-spam product no longer
runs on the PCs. You have to point you DNS MX entry to their servers and
then either pickup the email from there or have it forwarded on to your
own servers after being filtered.
