  "The others"

  by Achilles on February 7, 2005

  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

  "don't even bother"

  by stylechyld on February 3, 2005

  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

  "Very Great"

  by Adil_hussian on March 18, 2005

  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
