Hi,

I'm trying to convince my boss to buy an AV and stop using AVG free since we got infected many times...

So, are there any AVs that are:

1)cheap;
2)have support in portuguese;
3)updates frequently;
4)outlook protection.

Your best bet is F-Prot.

10 license costs US$50.00 .

Hi,

I talked to my boss about buying f-prot and he asked me to show him why f-prot is much better than avg.

i said that it has better detection, updates more frequently, etc. but he is still not convinced.

Can someone tell me other arguments that i can tell him?

Show him :

http://www.virusbtn.com and compare Grisoft with F-Prot.

F-Prot is a lovely AV, and 10 licenses for 50 dollarz is a bargain!

BTW F-Prot is listed under FRISK Software on Virus Bulletin.

I'm not sure I follow this completely. Are you saying that your boss wants to buy AVG Pro for more money than the same number of F-Prot licenses, when F-Prot has superior detection capabilities?

The reason I say AVG Pro is, of course, AVG Free can not be used in a business environment. It is only free for home and non-commercial use.

If it came down to buying AVG Pro versus F-Prot, no question in my mind, F-Prot is the winner.

Then you have your argument to convince him. That is not allowed.
