    Version: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 7.5.4

    "Best Free Anti-Virus"

    by M3talH3ad on October 20, 2006

    Pros: Finally the interface is updated. The layout is more XP looking which makes it look great. I have been using AVG free for over a year and have had no problems, it detects, removes with ease. There are no stupid pop-ups telling you to pay for the pro version or anything. Definitons are updated almost every day to give you the latest protection. It's effective, easy to use and is 100% free.

    "Much better than previous version"

    by troy272 on October 21, 2006

    Pros: Here's what I like about version 7.5

    1. The interface is redesigned. It doesn't look like it belongs in Windows 98 anymore, it looks much more XP like.

    2. Better heuristics, the heuristics are better than in the previous free version and it has the option to scan for alternate NTFS data streams.

    3. It's free!

    4. Does a great job at scanning, way better than norton or mcafee and doesn't use much memory. I tried NOD32 and AVG actually uses less memory. It only uses about 1MB of memory while idle which is impressive. It also doesn't use much while scanning and scans are pretty fast.

    5. Smallest updates i've ever seen. I hate waiting for updates and then come to find out you have to restart your PC after waitinf 10 minutes for files to download. This isn't the care with AVG! Updates take seconds and they're in KB (yes Kilobytes!) When I first installed it the whole update was only about 64KB which is really small.

    I can't recommend this program enough. If you're looking for a free antivirus that won't slow you down and is powerful, get this!

    AVG come a long way since version 7.1 and I think grisoft is a great company who makes outstanding products.

    Cons: The only thing I don't like is that there's no anti-spyware built in but you can download AVG antispyware free edition for that.

    "The best "free" antivirus program I've used."

    by eli74 on October 20, 2006

    Pros: This program does a decent job at protecting you from viruses. I recommend it to anyone not willing or able to pay for better security. I would say that it should protect you from about 90% of what's out there.
