AVG Internet Security 7.5
 AVG Virus Overview - the Bottom Line
AVG Virus - Full ReviewReview Summary:AVG offers both a free protection program for viruses and spyware, but also tenders a paid subscription option for greater overall protection beyond viruses and spyware. The biggest difference between the two versions is that while the free software is effective at catching existing viruses, the 8.0 upgrade does as much while also actively preventing future infections through Safe Search. Ease of Use:Although the 8.0 version is highly effective on the whole, one disadvantage is that it requires a higher level of manual attention from its users. Even so, experienced users who don't mind contributing a little manual assistance will appreciate the efficiency of this software. Novice users will appreciate the high quality technical help available. Updates:The 8.0 software updates automatically. Features:AVG checks websites for malicious content while you are surfing the Internet, both from the page you are visiting as well as the results of a search engine query. Subscriptions are available for one to two years covering up to ten household computers. Effectiveness:Numerous users have noted that the AVG system caught viruses that Norton had overlooked. Novice users will also appreciate the high quality technical help available. Ease of Installation:AVG installs relatively quickly and easily.  |
