From AVG Technologies USA:This antivirus program for your home or office computer is easy on system resources and simple to install and use. The fully automated update process will keep your computer protected at all times.

- "Full suite of protection"
- Version reviewed: AVG Anti-Virus Professional 7.1.362
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.

"The best protection you can get!"
Pros: Why? Because it,s always up to date.
Many time updating.
If you are attacked: a very fast reaction
for deleting the virus.
Wat i really like is that this antivirus program will not slow down your computer.
And a very easy to use interface.

Version: AVG Anti-Virus Professional 7.1.362
Pros: It does detect trojans. I had some trojans and it did find them. I wouldn't rely heavily on real time protection anyways. You should scan any suspicious file that enters your computer. The real time detection does take some time to find viruses, but the scan will find them. This program does catch them however. I had 6 trojans, and the scan found them. The real time detection didn't catch after some time, but never the less found them. Great program. It's very low on memory, and doesn't slow your computer much. I used AVG for a quite a long time. If AVG can't delete it for you, well you can manually delete yourself. Point is it does find them for you. It healed my computer of the trojans though, so I didn't have to do that.
Cons: Nothing much.

"Low memory requirement, but not very friendly UI"
Pros: AVG only needs 16 MB of memory for background protection (or just 10 MB without email protection). When performing manual scanning, it uses additional 27 MB. This is a good design, and I think users who have marginal memory in their system will appreciate it.
