    "but needs a way to completely disable"

    January 30, 2011  |  

    Version: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 2011 10.0.1191

    Pros

    easy to install

    Cons

    not so easy to use, with a streamlined but still somewhat convoluted interface. Biggest problem is that while it told me to uninstall avast! anti-virus due to conflicts, itself cannot be disabled. These days, you need two or more programs.

    Summary

    do as you preach!

    "AVG is easy to install, free and it's working for me."

    January 30, 2011  |   By Roguemd

    Version: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 2011 10.0.1191

    Pros

    Install was simple
    Has a search toolbar that catergorizes safety of the search results by color codes.

    Cons

    Pop-ups to buy upgrade edition

    Summary

    I used Panda Cloud for the last 3 yrs and though it worked well, it did not provide interactive individual features like the safe search feature and other modules lthat is available on AVG. AVG is much better so far. Need to figure out how to keep the pop-ups from AVG for upgrading to the AVG pay addition,.

    "Oh AVG... What happened to thee?"

    January 29, 2011  |   By jakemccoy

    Version: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 2011 10.0.1191

    Pros

    The colors and theme remind me a time long ago when AVG was almost too good to be true. The amazing free app that discovered where every bit of evil was hiding in our 4TB media server. Sadly, those days of our love AVG are long gone.

    Cons

    I dare you to try and uninstall it
    The modules have on/off buttons that do nothing
    Virus vault hinders progress
    Slows your machine
    It 'phones home' constantly

    instant di It will enslave your machine. The module on/off buttons are useless-- AVG

    Summary

    I'm a pro-troubleshooter, and even I could not get AVG off of my **#*%
    Just try to uninstall it from your computer. then you'll see why it's been called ".... much more difficult to remove than any virus".
    If you try to remove AVG
    It will kick & scream, it won't let Revo remove it.
    - It's a pest, pops up for no reason asking permissions to go online. Click 'no' and it sneaks in anyway. Want proof? Check it with What's Running'
    Two months later I'm still finding chunks of it all over my registry. Honest to God, I have NEVER seen any program that roots itself to the very bones of your computer.
    STAY AWAY!
