Advantages: Reliable, simple, easy to install, fast.

Disadvantages: Widespread (albeit somewhat unfounded) distrust of AVG Technologies

Finally a free product capable of pricking the balloon of Norton's pompousity! Aside from being free, this piece of software has kept my computer pretty clean, moreso than any other Antivirus software I have used in the past. As far as internet security software such as this goes, I highly recommend it. It is reliable and easy to use. It is fast, user friendly and has a few nice features. In spite of that horrible business with a previous update of AVG causing the software to delete "User32.dll" (an important windows file) thinking it was a trojan and subsequently destroying the universe, I now trust the product and would recommend it more than any other of its kind. It is also easy to install and doesnt have its default autonomy set too low, something which I have found to be a bit of an issue with programs such as Spybot, Kaspersky, Norton Internet Security and Zonealarm.

Summary: A decent piece of antivirus and internet security software that works well with no problems.
