Version: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 7.5.488
Pros: Nice GUI in this version, but the scanning took very long, but it does not lag and runs on low memory

Version: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 7.5.488
Pros: Very light memory footprint, no discernible slowdown. Reliable, regular, fast updates. Scores well (Advanced+) on AVComparatives. Scanning a little slow, but easy to schedule, and when running in background doesn't slow things down much. Neat, easy to use interface. Integrates fully with Windows Security Center.
Cons: No built-in rootkit scanning - for this you need the (also free) AVG Anti-Rootkit app.

"A free virus software that does a great job at protecting your computer!"
Pros: AVG Anti-Virus is wonderful for a free edition. I highly recommend it to everyone who enjoy free software protection without paying the the high price for it.

Version: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 7.5.488
"Works well, but.............."
Pros: More reliable than Avast, as at least it doesn't have some files missing as Avast does (scan with HijackThis).
Cons: NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT * FORUMS ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO REGISTER WITH (major probs there) * "SLOWS DOWN YOUR COMPUTER `BIG TIME', SO BEST LEAVE TO SCAN WHILE YOU ARE OUT FOR ABOUT 2-3 HOURS" * EXTREMELY SLOW. "Facts", so don't be confused by other 2 misguided reviewers.
