Editor's review of AVG Anti-Virus Professional Single Edition 7.0

- "Full suite of protection"
- Version reviewed: AVG Anti-Virus Professional Single Edition 7.0
Though not as well-known as some competitors, this antivirus program offers rock-solid protection. AVG Anti-Virus Professional provides all the necessities, including a tool for scanning your hard drive and e-mail, as well as a real-time shield to prevent infections.
You'll find a full-blown scheduling utility for automating tasks and checking for new definitions as often as you'd like. Other perks found in this Pro version include technical support and the ability to run on multiple operating systems. 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 it always proved effective in our tests. The interface can't be described as beautiful, yet it is mostly simple to navigate.
Though the free version of this program will suffice for average folks, those who demand more control should certainly consider AVG Anti-Virus Professional.

Version: AVG Anti-Virus Professional Single Edition 7.0
Pros: well, AVG is a great antivirus program it detected viruses on my pc some are disinfected others I had to delete on my own.It also keeps my system stable and fast.It has a fast scanner and it updates daily
Cons: I cant say the program is bad it is really effective but you will need a firewall and many other things that this program doesnt offer.so its up to the people to choose between this program or other packages that include more than just an antivirus

Version: AVG Anti-Virus Professional Single Edition 7.0
Pros: fast..fast..fast
Cons: like i said fast..but that doesn't mean a good thing at all because it misses every kind of worm and virus that can potentially wipe out your computer for good.
let's be realistic here if you want real protection you gotta get a company that is well known and trust worthy. for those who actually think this software is great, obviously they haven't done there homework... nuff said

Version: AVG Anti-Virus Professional Single Edition 7.0
Pros: Except for one incident, this is the best anti-virus software. And it's free! I can't believe it! I was riddled with viruses/Trojans and had Norton Anti-Virus 2003. For free software, I am amazed, AVG found many many viruses that Norton didn't. I also tried the free on-line scans that Panda, McAfee and Trend Micro offer. In those 3 cases, AVG found viruses/Trojans that the online scans didn't and the reverse was not true. However, there was one virus that Norton found but AVG didn't, which was a little disappointing. But it still means it beat out the other (paid) software. Don't waste your money on anti-virus software, this is at least as good as the "big boys". You can always use the free online scans that Norton, McAfee, Trend Micro and Panda offer to see how they do against this product. More often than not, AVG is equal or superior. One final note, if you run the "security check" program offered on Symantec's (Norton) website, it will say "no virus protection" if you are using this product. Please ignore that, it is fine, in fact, even Microsoft Windows XP SP2's Security Center recognizes the AVG software when it evaluates the level of your PC's protection. I'm sure Norton does that to try and convince you you need their product. The best things really can be free! Download and no worries
