Free AVG Anti-Virus Pro Download Swamps Servers

28 December 2007 One Comment

Following a post on downloadsquad that Computeract!ve is giving away free licensed copies of AVG Anti-Virus Pro through Jan 17, 2008, Computeract!ve are now reporting that they are experiencing severe server download problems.

“We are experiencing severe disruption to our downloads server after this offer was leaked to other internet users. We’re working to fix the problem – if you can’t access the file, please try again later.”

CyberNet has pointed us to a couple of mirrors. But when the Hi-Tech Squad tried downloading from them we discovered that one was removed and the other was similarly overwhelmed.

What is the moral of this story… Don’t try and give away free copies of a top anti-virus suite in secret and don’t expect “the internet” to find out.
