    "This version is not optimal."

    August 18, 2010  |   By onewayfarer53

    Pros

    It's free but not as good as the earlier versions.

    Cons

    It missed a common virus that I had to go to another site to eradicate.You can't temporarily turn off the protection to troubleshoot.

    Summary

    I'm not pleased with this version. I have used earlier version with great success.I'm looking for better protection and features,it seems AVG took abig step back with this version.
