    "dun trust other fake 1-star comments"

    September 23, 2010  |   By henrycykCN

    Pros

    - Best In Class protection w/ free daily updates
    - Complete Protection: real-time Link Scanner (not slow down browser), Email Scanner (works great w/ Outlook), strong Anti-Malware & Anti-Virus.
    - Great Winning History of Professional protection

    Cons

    - Hard-sell.... I don't like the fact that the installation would lure you to buy the ID theft protection. However, I understand even freeware could us any chance to advertise and bundle w/ other software during installation process.

    Summary

    Don't you see a marketing trend setup by Avira ir Avast antivirus... First of all, those two companies creates product that speels like AVG. They are trying hard to flood different download sites with 1-star feedbacks, thinking to bring down AVG's long term #1 best rated and most download status.

    Every little 1-star comments here is to promote those two, while trashing AVG. Only time will tell. Those other imitator won't last long. I'll leave it up to you to decide.
