AVG Is Back And This Time - It Works

The last time I tried AVG for Linux, it was completely useless. Not due to a lack of need for an anti-virus in Linux. Anyone wanting to protect an NTFS partition used with Windows might as well be able to do so from their Linux install. No, rather due to the fact that AVG for Linux a year ago totally lacked the ability to REMOVE malware. All it was able to do was detect it. Helpful, not so much.

Flash forward to now, we see AVG for Linux 8.5 ready to roll with an April 23rd 2009 release date.

Should I be excited? Will I once again, test out AVG for Linux as I did in the video above over a year ago? Yes, but not because I have any NTFS partitions on my PC. I run my Linux installations dedicated. So me using AVG would really only be useful for me if I was wanting to slave troubled Windows hard drives infected with malware. Sadly, I can honestly say I do not have any to run through its paces right now. Maybe I can call some of my Microsoft using relatives, they might be able to help?
