changes over the years but is still one of the
handiest free antivirus programs available for
personal users.
Despite being a free security tool, AVG Anti-
Virus is as good as any paid anti-virus app.
It features a bunch of dedicated modules to
protect you from antivirus, spyware and
rootkits and spam , and also includes the so
called LinkScanner – an extra layer of
protection that checks search results and
web links to make sure they're safe. In
recent years, the developers have added
more intrusive features that try to intefere
with browser settings such as your preferred
search engine but overall, it still remains a
good anti-virus option.
One of the best things about AVG Anti-Virus
is that it offers neat, effective protection
while staying silently minimized in your
system tray without guzzling system
resources and of course, without constantly
bothering you with warning windows or
update messages. Since it's the free version
of a complete program, AVG Anti-Virus does
show the odd nag screen encouraging you to
buy AVG Professional, something which may
annoy some users.
AVG Anti-Virus features a nicely designed,
more user-friendly interface, which mimics
the Windows Modern UI, and supports touch
in Windows 8. Of course, you still have the
same three types of scan: full system,
selected files and folders and anti-rootkit.
AVG Anti-Virus also lets you schedule scans
for a certain day and time.
New in 2013 is an enhanced and simplified
firewall. Previous versions of AVG didn't
include any firewall at all so it's a nice
addition. Settings for the firewall are easy to
use and understand, making personalization
network access for specific apps a breeze.
The firewall will also help scan links, fight
spam, and protect against wi-fi hacking.
The whole AVG Anti-Virus package should be
enough to ensure you're not infected with
any virus. The program also integrates
seamlessly with Windows Explorer, allowing
you to scan files from their context menus.
AVG Anti-Virus's database is automatically
updated on a daily basis, so you're always
protected from even the most recently
discovered threats. Although AVG Anti-Virus
still remains a very powerful packages, there
are other anti virus tools - such as Avast! -
that do as good a job if not better.
Performance of AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition
has increased as well. Startup times are now
26% quicker, scanning times are 36% faster,
and interface loads over 200% faster
AVG Antivirus remains a perfect security
solution for the average computer user,
providing a powerful weapon against viruses.
