10 Minutes to install AVG?
Because of low bandwidth? Well while I have nothing againist AVG, I have always preferred the free version of Avast. It has always been installed in under 5 minutes, and includes an automatic updater for the program and virus definitions. You do have to register the software for free, and enter a license key every year, but hey it is easy and simple.

www.avast.com Try it next time. There is also Avira, but last I checked they did not support Vista, and they give u you a pop up about thier software when updating the definitions or the program.
