I'm not going to renew my current antivirus subcriptions. Is AVG Free Edition
still good enough to use? when using the software does user need to sign-up?
any thoughts in this software

AVG or avast! are both highly recommended in the free world.

Yes, AVG is still good enough. It uses very little RAM and it has the
features you'll want.

You can use the free versions of either AVG (http://free.grisoft.com) or
AVast! http://www.avast.com) both are excellent, although I still recommend
AVG (it has a more user friendly interface).

With AVG you don't 'sign up' as such. During installation you are asked to
'personalise' avg but that is all, i.e., ser Name, Company, Licence (the
free version of AVG already displays the licence number on this page.)

AVG free is totally free and it is one of the best antivirus programs out
there
it does what the paid versions do
I have been using it for 10yrs on all walks of OS's including vista
