Advantages: Lots of facilities

Disadvantages: Connecting to update isn't so easy

This piece of software is designed to provide help and assistance with your PC with regards to viruses, worms or any other computer related threat. It tends to be compatible with all types of operating systems but would recommend Windows XP or Vista.

The user is able to run a system scan in the background while you use your computer and soon as something attacks your computer you will be notified straight away. In my opinion though I have always used McAfee Anti Virus software and this tends to do the job for me. I still think that AVG is a little bit behind McAfee in terms of stopping viruses and communicating effectively with the PC user.

AVG 8.0 does provide anti spam and monitors file downloads and online transactions allowing you to bank online with ease and peace of mind but updating this software on a regular basis is not always easy as access to AVG's server is not always instant.

Overall I would avoid and buy McAfee equivalent.

Summary: Overall good pack but hard to update sometimes
