Publisher's Description
From AVG Technologies USA:
Some security products slow down your PC; AVG Internet Security 2012 speeds it up, by accelerating the download of content-rich files. Faster system start-up and support for Flash and HD video means you can enjoy online video like YouTube faster.
You want to search, surf and social network, but you don't ever want to go to any infected websites then trust AVG Anti-Virus. It knows when you are gaming and ensures that the security operates in the background only, leaving you free to play. When downloading files are checked before you download them without you having to do a thing.
More than just Antivirus, AVG Internet Security protects you when shopping and banking, keeping your identity safe. The AVG Firewall prevents inbound and outbound attacks, while Identity Protection secures personal content you enter online.
Keep your inbox clear of spam and also protect it from phishing scams along with the hidden viruses that they contain.
What's new in this version: Build 1913 is a maintenance release.

"AVG -American Vintage Garbage"
Version: AVG Internet Security 2012 2012.0.1913
Pros
Great Cartoonist the artistic work I give two thumbs up
Cons
Too many to list
Summary
AVG- American Vintage Garbage:
1) It's like Building your dream home with Pre-Schools Nail and Hammer set.
2)Patching your basement floor with Playdough,
3) You got a job need a car- so you go buy a Revell plastic model. Yeeeeeah,
I explained my tech side of Antivirus and someone once said what does that mean? So here I give it to you in simple terminology I have been on the web since the day Windows-95 was released. I'm an Old fart, TRUST ME Please, AVG is putting your machines in harms way on the World Wide Web, The web is Real and has real life dangers. You need a prison fence around your machine, not Bounty paper towels --that's a fact! Would you leave your front door unlocked if you lived @ East St. Louis, Illinois. -
"Firewall is useless. Don't upgrade from version 9"
Version: AVG Internet Security 2012 2012.0.1913
Pros
Better than Symantec
Cons
Firewall blocks everything randomly. I have to turn it off. some protection! No email Support. Only chat or phone. Tried chat - no agents available. Tried AVG forum. Takes 3 logons to get to it, then it fails.
Summary
I've had paid versions of AVG for years. This one seemed ok, until the firewall decides to randomly block internet access completely - especially if it's pushed hard. It's disabled right now, just to get on the internet. Support is non-existent and useless. Website is poor.
