Need to get some help in this area as I am not familiar with the AVG product
line and am trying out the free download which does seem to work well, I am
running it along with Spybot 2.5 and it has picked up a few things that
Spybot missed. However... I am a bit lost after digging thru the FAQ's on
AVG's homepage and was wondering if someone here could help me out or aim me
in the right direction !

I am currently running the AVG Antivirus that I downloaded about 2 weeks ago
and is Version 6.0.560 (release date of 09-02-03) Virus Database=352,
release date of: 01-08-04.

What I am curious about is when I go to the info pages for AVG, it lists AVG
7.0 Anti-Virus System and no mention of the Version 6 that I have and it
also lists a AVG Professional Single Edition Do I have the latest version
?

I have the free version running on my laptop which is running Windows 98SE
and it works very well, however as soon as I can get the correct drivers for
the system, I am going to Upgrade it to Windows XP Professional. Soon after
that I will be selling the notebook (after I remove AVG) and going with a
new notebook that currently has Windows XP Professional on, but I will be
upgrading it to Windows Server 2003 Premium Version.

In reading the write ups on the products, it sounds like I do not actually
want the AVG Professional as it does not run on Server 2003 and as far as I
can tell, I would want the "AVG File Server Edition - maximum protection for
file servers" OR perhaps I need the "AVG Email Server Edition"

For 90% of what I do, I use Outlook Express Version 6.0.2800 (latest
Version) with Internet Explorer 6.0.2800. Sometimes I will use Outlook 2002
and will be going to Outlook 2003 when I change to Windows XP Professional
and Windows Server 2003. However I will not be running Server 2003 Premium
in a real server mode as at this point am just testing the software.

So..the question is, what version ?
In advance, thanks !!

You have the latest free version.

Its license, however, specifically forbids installation on servers (or at
least the HTML language on the web site does!)

What you "need" is quite a bit more complex to figure out however--and I
don't have a clear recommendation for you--unless you can spot a trial
version of a server-class antivirus--that might be appropriate in a test
situation.
