xJedix 0 Report post Posted January 31, 2006 It is indeed a very good anti-virus software. I have been using avg for more than a year now. I like it a lot, way more than when I had norton or mcaffee. It isn't a cpu hog and has many nice features. One feature I like the most is heuristic analysis, which scans files for viruses that arn't out yet. I have yet to have any problems with it and it has found many viruses that norton and mcafee failed to find.I highly recommend it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

terminal2k 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2006 AVG Free is what I have been using for some years, I've found it less buggy than some of the better known brands, it operates smoothly, updates are quick and plentiful, and it hasn't let any virus get into my machine yet. Being free it sits right in my ideal price bracket. I have this installed on both of my computers, and my mum's, brothers and fiance's computers to keep them safe. i'd rate it 9/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dementeddemon 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2006 Wow thanks for the find.I've had AVG on my computer for a while now and it's working great but recently i changed my anti-virus to NOD32 it's uses less ram then AVG and it scans faster. But if you don't want to pay i say go AVG Anti-virus. I'd rate AVG 9.5/10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cool_Freaker 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2006 I put together a new computer recently and installed AVG Antivirus on it thanks to the recommendation of a friend. I did find though that it scanned rather too often, and I couldn't get the auto updates to work properly. I later switched back to avast! (which I had been using previously), which works for me no problem... so I don't really know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delivi 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2006 AVG Free Edition is really one of the Best Available Anti-Virus. It has lots of features and very frequent updates that keep us bay from existing threats and that are yet to come. I recommend everyone AVG because its the best freeware available. It even has a support forum and all queries can be cleared there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Razor 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2006 I had been using it for around 4 years now....i fin dit much better than norton myself in the terms that it doesnt use all your cpu etc..plus there is loads of frequent updates for it...and because of that you can keep it running constantly ..without ur pc going slow....and it will catch a virus in real time b4 it even gets to wreck havoc on your cpu.....only problem i found with it was..that when im playing a game..and i forget what time the scan is sqeduled for.....the whole computer LAG's like mad..but i suppose thats normal :)I highly recomend this tool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UltimateStar 0 Report post Posted February 2, 2006 Yes, I agree with you on that... AVG is the best free Anti-Virus program. It detects Viruses faster & better than Norton does.And the best part of it is its for free. I have that app downloaded & it detected Viruses that Norton didn't. Its just uncomparable with the price!

trekken 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2006 Thanks for the heads up on AVG, I've never heard of it but based on everyones recommendations, I will get it. My norton just expired and I wasn't sure if I was going to renew or not. I will use the link above to get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sharpz 0 Report post Posted March 6, 2006 I hate all anti-viruses. They are major CPU hogs, and i have to disable live protection on anything in order to game. I think the best antivirus is Kaspersky Antivirus. It isn't anything super special, but it works, and finds plenty of new viruses that are undocumented.
