"Free, but updates for limited time"
Version: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 7.289
Pros
It's free, yes... it generally does what it's supposed to do. A good 'free' AV software. But nothing great.
Cons
It will update itself but for a limited time. It was the prefered one in our office... until we realised it wasn't too effective. Nothing to beat a paid AV software. If you really want to protect your data, skip this product. Better products around that will do the job for you.

"Highly Recommended + It's Free!"
Version: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 7.289
Pros
I have introduced this most excellent AV program to my work place and we have already begun switching over from McAfee to AVG on all our desktops and laptops.
I've been able to detect and rid employees' work PCs of infections and have been absolutely 100% satisfied!
I also happen to use it at home and simply love everything about it. It checks incoming email, updates definitions & scans my system frequently and automatically.
Cons
There are no cons.

"Great anti-virus and it's FREE!"
Version: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 7.289
Pros
1) Computer's with low RAM, like say, only 256 MB or below, should use AVG. It hardly slows down pc startup unlike Norton or other commercial anti-viruses.
2) For those who have heard that Avast! is better, well maybe but I find Avast!'s full system scans to be terribly slow. It took me more than an hour to complete a full scan with Avast! On the other hand, AVG only took about 25 minutes and it doesn't use too much RAM during these scans too so I can do something else like web browsing without being slowed down.
3) There's no technical support for this free edition but at least there's a forum. Better than Norton which doesn't even have a forum, right?
4) Has about all the features you'll need in an anti-virus.
5) Super fast updating. Updates are frequent too.
6) Efficient automatic updating (I have Norton on another PC and it's slow to automatically update- if there's any).
7) Here's a nice one, AVG has a feature called Rescue Disk Wizard. The Rescue Disk lets you scan and clean files on your pc while in MS-DOS mode (at the command prompt). It's useful if your system area has been infected.
8) It's free.
Cons
1) For IM users, AVG doesn't have any IM protection, hopefully there will be in the future.
2) AVG doesn't have a firewall together with it like Norton or PC-Cillin but it's free, remember? And if you want Norton or PC-Cillin, you'll have to dig into your wallet. So, you choose yourself. Sides, there's quite a few free firewalls out there. In fact, there's lots of free software that provides features commercial software charge you for, especially in the anti-spyware market.
