Manage updates with the Download App
CNET Editors' review
This antivirus program offers rock-solid protection. AVG Free provides the bare necessities, including a real-time shield to prevent infections, anti-virus and anti-malware wrapped up in one engine, and a link scanner for Web surfing with care.
By default, the application is set to search for new virus definitions daily, but you always can use the scheduling tool to change this. Should a virus create serious system problems, AVG creates a rescue disk to scan your computer in MS-DOS mode. The program doesn't tax your system when scanning or when running in the background and always proved effective in our tests. The new interface is much easier to navigate than in previous version, with tabbed navigation on the left assisting users in drilling down to the tools they need.
Though the free version of this program will suffice for average folks, those who demand more control should certainly consider AVG Anti-Virus Professional.

"still CRAP!"
Version: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.0.1
Pros
NONE AT ALL
Cons
It's just CRAP!
Summary
No active defense like Avast. Didn't want AVG (tried once and it was CRAP) but it came with the PC. I Installed Avast and then used Ad-remove programs to removed AVG. AVG's software went through the motions & said it uninstalled BUT it left big pieces on my PC & when I tried to use Ad-remove again it swears it's gone so............

Pros
That its free and doesnt bog down the system (most of the times)

Scanning repeatedly (even the folder in which the virus was - after i found out whats the cause) didnt give any results. Then I did a scan with NOD32 (online/free scan) and it immediately found and fixed the issue.
