    "I wouldn't use AVG FREE if i was you."

    September 9, 2012  |   By taylor1277

    Pros

    Well yes AVG FREE was the best antivirus tool on the market at one time.

    Cons

    But with other programs like Advanced System Care,i have seen them do what i never thought either of these two companies would do.AVG adds a DO-NOT-TRACK program hitched onto their free antivirus,Cnet doesn't say anything about this because they are getting paid not too.It takes over system operations and can make your computer sluggish and its almost like adding malware to a virus program.Your best bet today is going with AVAST Free Anti-Virus or one of the other ones like Zonealarm Free Antivirus and they even have a free firewall.

    Summary

    Please go ahead and find out for yourself.I believe this Do-Not-Track tool which is suppose to keep websites from tracking you,is for AVG to be the only on e to track you and sell your information.And once you install it,try getting it unstalled.It took me a great deal of time to get it out of my system,i am not a certified computer technician,but i got rid of it.And let me tell you it isnt easy.
