I have used AVG for the past couple of years and have not had a virus or spyware in that time. That may be a coincidence but it is good to know that it is there. It is very unobtrusive and minds its own business for most of the time. It updates itself when available automatically (although you can stop this if you want) and runs a ...  Read the complete review

AVG Antivirus Free Edition I have used Norton antivirus and most recently Mc Afee in the past. I got the McAfee free for the first year when I took out my sky package. The year is just about up and I didn't fancy the prospect of forking out for another expensive replacement. I had found McAfee to be decent enough it was better than ...  Read the complete review

I have had this piece of software on my computer for over a year now. Over that past year i have had quite a few major viruses but thanks to this software i managed to get rid of them. Although the original AVG Anti-virus searches for more things like credit card scams the original comes with quite a big price tag considering that you can get the ...  Read the complete review

I've had AVG installed on all the computers I've used on the internet for about 5 years, and I wouldn't use anything else. It's so simple to use and yet seems to detect viruses quick enough to stop me getting one on my pc. AVG just seems to work on every computer I put it on, without any problems, no matter what version of windows it ...  Read the complete review

Grisoft's AVG Antivirus Free Edition was recommended to me by some friends and a relative who work in IT, so I thought they must know what they are talking about. You have to download this piece of software from a special free grisoft site. Sometimes this site hides, I think Grisoft would like people to buy their paid for version. I am ...  Read the complete review

AVG anti virus is a free software that protects your computer from viruses and trojan's. In my opinion, it's absolutely FANTASTIC! To be honest, I can't fault this programme! I've had it on my laptop since i bought it, 2 and a half years ago. It's also on the computer downstairs, and so far, we haven't had one virus. It's the best anti virus i've ...  Read the complete review

AVG antivirus is a free anti virus software. It is almost like a demo to the whole AVG package, the only difference between this demo and the demo of say Norton, is that this demo does not have any time constraint, and you do not need to buy the AVG at any point. Personally, I just use this as my anti virus software, as it is good enough to keep ...  Read the complete review

AVG is a powerful anti-virus program created by AVG Technologies (formerly known as Grisoft). It is available as a free download from free.avg.com, although be careful what you click on as they do their best to get you to upgrade to the Pro version or their new Internet Security product.

The download includes; a Resident Shield which scans newly opened and copied files to make sure they are safe and tells you how many threats have been blocked; a Virus Vault which is where detected harmful viruses are kept to keep your PC safe; and email and link ...  Read the complete review

After years of putting up with Norton on the family computer when I went of to Uni and got my own laptop I was determined not to have to put up with it anymore. I chose AVG primarily because it was free, another massive advantage with it is the minimal use of system resources it requires allowing you to carry on using the laptop without ...  Read the complete review

I used to have a mcafee antivirus suite on my old computer, but in all honesty I didn't want to pay a subscription to keep the database up to date, so it was a bit pointless really. After buying a new laptop, I wanted to make sure it remained healthy and virus free, so I had a look around at various free antivirus software so I could keep it up to ...  Read the complete review

Now here's a product worthy of some attention! After converting from Norton 360, this product is fabulous is every way. First it's free and you can't get much better than that. Second it is very low on resources and loads up as soon as the OS has loaded. Third it has a very high detection rate, one of the best. So let's look at ...  Read the complete review

I used to have McAfee on my computer as my antivirus software, but I found it slowed my system right down, caused problems with my internet access and generally made my life extremely difficult when it came to doing things on the computer. And to think I'd paid a fortune for all these problems! So when my license expired, I decided to ...  Read the complete review

Norton used to be the best anti-virus program around, then came along this outstanding free package from AVG, and I've never thought to use Norton since. I switched a good few years ago and since have never had any major problems with viruses at all - proving that this is up to the job! And anyway, who wants to pay for an anti-virus ...  Read the complete review
