A bit to know about this laptop. This is a secondary laptop used at home but not by me. Main purposes is to surf the web, facebook, live messenger and perhaps a couple of downloads here and there.

Manual scans, backups and configurations are done by me. Apart from that I don't really touch the laptop.

So how you will rate avg on scale of 5?
I am not seeing any application control on your setup, Am i right?

Removed AVG Antivirus Free 2012 and Ad Aware Web Protection.

Added NAV 2012 and tweaked a few settings.

NAV was being tested on my old system on real time (not VM) for some days now.

Still can't beat an Install and Forget solution since I hardly use this system.

You can refer to my text based review on the scale points

No infections during the AVG time in this system.

Replaced avast! with McAfee SaaS Endpoint Protection (AV+Firewall+Browser Protection) and Emsisoft Mamutu.

SaaS license is the one that was being used on my main laptop.

The purpose is to then manage everything via the network and not really me using the laptop for maintenance. Until I installed SaaS on this laptop, everything was done via Network apart from managing the AV.

Guessing you a lot more computers in the house? Would like to see how it goes for you, as it would be great for all the computers I have here.
