Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREE
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.

"Amazing Performance"
Version: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.0.138
Pros
-Fast and effective to remove viruses or other similar problems
-Scans fast and removes fast
-Works better when other programs are on your computer like Superantispyware or Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.Cons
-Turns itself off sometimes
Summary
I find that AVG is a very good programs and can find and remove viruses or cookies very fast. I have only been using it for about a year and it has fixed my problems. I highly suggest that everyone get this. I had Norton before when I had first gooten my laptop and I thought it was working. But then I loaded AVG and it found 2 viruses and over 200 tracking cookies. I also find that this programs goes along well with others like Malwarebyes Anti-Malware or SUPERantispyware. If AVG doesn't find it, they will. The free versions of all of them work well and just keep getting better with updates. But AVG does get annoying always reminding me to upgrade to its full version.

"like experience, confidence gained past 3 months, BUT"
Version: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.0.138
Pros
the confidence my experience with AVG has given me, the automated concept really works well ...
Cons
AVG threatened me with possible lack of co operation on their behalf to me if i did not install that confounded YAHOO TOOLBAR which has been the maker of a mirade of continuing headaches for me in my limited search world
Summary
AVG get rid of YAHOO AND YOU GET A FIVE STAR RATING FROM THIS EXPERIENCED USER!!! ... it is a time waister for me and, IN MY CONSIDERED OPINION, google or other newer search engines put yahoo to SHAME.
