AVG Free

My Score:


I have found AVG 100% effective over a couple of years use it clears infections that Norton would touch.
When clearing any malware on an Xp system the system restore must be turened off or Xp bless its trusting soul will reinstall the offending file.

A big advantage over the Norton/Symantec product is it dosen''t slow the systemto a crawl.

I used AVG Free Edition for about 6 months. I got attacked by 5 or 6 Trojan horses, namely the Downloader-trojan and Backdoor -trojans. A

AVG could not heal ANY of these viruses and said that my computer was still infected. Other times AVG said that there were no viruses at all, when it had reported earlier that there still was a infected file.

I am sticking with AVAST now. This is also freeware but (in my opinion) a HELL of a lot better dan AVG. It deletes viruses immediately and it AUTOMATICALLY updates itself. Till now AVAST has removed every virus it had encountered, without saying that it could not heal it.

I would never have used AVG Free Edition if i had known AVAST was also available.

I have used this AVG for a long time now...it is one of the best i have used. No interference with other installed programs, and catches virus AND TROJANS that the big name software companies missed. Hats off to a company that finally gave us a little something for free that actually kicks butt!

I use it and have had nothing but good luck. I put it on customer''s winboxes almost daily. The pay for version is more powerful, and comes with a 2 year license...
