In my case, I had come across a lot of talk regarding AVG Internet Security and decided to give it a try. It is a shame that there is no ability to rate this ZERO stars.Īs anti-virus programs continue to mushroom regularly, choosing the best will depend on what you need.

These so called intuitive and user friendly programs are a pox to those of us who actually know how to build, maintain and run computers. I yearn for the days when one could control every function and program on one’s machine.

I lost count of the times that my system locked up from lack of memory resources because the AVG program decided that the best time to download and run a virus check was when I had multiple windows and programs already running.

It is now a bloated piece of software that takes complete control of the computer it is install on and hogs all of the memory resources at the most inappropriate of times. AVG was great at catching most malware and email attachments and overall was a decent product. The user had complete control over when the new virus definitions were downloaded and updated. I first tried AVG in the early 2000s and it was a great product. Perhaps that is why they are offering this free license.
It will take some effort from AVG/Avast to earn back my trust, and the trust of many other former customers. However, I have lost trust in the company, so I uninstalled their product recently.
Overall, this AV tool seems good enough for someone with a fairly modern computer (which can handle the load). You certainly need to get regular updates, but sometimes it is nice to just disable it, and do the updates manually when you can spare the system resources. Something I do appreciate is that it allows the user to disable automatic updates. It also tried to push its browser addon on you, which was (at least until recently) farming user activity behavior and selling it. The firewall is not useful to me, since it gives very few configuration options to the user. However, as others have noted, it can be a resource hog. This shows questionable ethics.Īs far as user experience, this seems like a “ok” tool. They shut it down only after it was discovered independently and public outcry required it. If all you are looking for is a free anti-virus tool then it is a must-have, but if you are looking for an all-in-one malware solution AVG Free is not for you.AVG/Avast recently got in hot water for selling user data to advertisers through the company they bought, Jumpshot.

Pros: Very close to paid version, very sparing on computer resources.Ĭons: Only updates once daily, no support offered in the free version, anti-virus capabilities only.Ĭonclusion: While AVG Anti-Virus does its job well and LinkScanner is a welcome tool, it does not offer full protection for your computer. It will place a toolbar in your browser and ask to change your homepage, but both of these options are easy to disable. The interface is nicely unobtrusive, without constant exhortations to upgrade. Also, if you use Internet Explorer or FireFox, the LinkScanner tool will give you advance warning of suspicious sites that may come up in search engine results. This is a bit of an inconvenience, however it does mean that the software does not make heavy use of your computer's resources.ĪVG Anti-Virus does offer excellent protection from the threats that it does cover. Rather, it is only for anti-virus use, so without a firewall or antispam feature you will need to seek out other programs for full protection. In essence AVG Anti-Virus Free is the same as the paid version, but without a few inessential features, which makes it a pretty good product for the princely sum of $0.īear in mind that AVG Anti-Virus is not an all-in one computer protection package. Malware protection at a price that can't be beaten.
