Thanks Alan, but I'm looking for the AVG version that will install on a mac with OS 10.6.8
I have tried from the newest version to as far back as "version 2014_4172 dmg."  7 versions altogether
and I always get the message  Need Mac OS 10.8.0 or newer.
Is there a version of AVG antivirus still available that would work on a mac with 10.6.8 ?
thanks

Thanks Al
But when I click on that link and fill out the details I do not have the option of "email option"
All I get is a button for a live chat??? andwhen I click on it, it just keeps on loading and loading and nobody ever comes on.
How do I get the email option or how can I send an email directly to get help?
thanks

Please feel free to contact us for further assistance with AVG.
Thank you for understanding.
