"AVG Free offers very good (and very free) protection against viruses and spyware—just a tad better than free competitor avast!. As a bonus, its real-time LinkScanner technology keeps you from clicking search links to dangerous sites. It's an excellent choice if you need free protection against both viruses and spyware."
PC Magazine
"...with AVG antivirus, the signature updates are seamless and unobtrusive -the way security updates should be. But as a user - besides AVG offering a free basic version of its software - I like it because it delivers on a simplepromise, and not a fantasy of how information might be managed in the future."

"Congratulations to all who are involved in the AVG program. If it continues to work as it has so far, I'll be recommending it to a LOT of my friends. Thank you!"

"Thank you for your AVG Free program. . . . It has saved my system a few times in the past and today it has once again . . . Thank you, GRISOFT!"
Ed L.
It has all the essentials, including a resident memory scanner, an e-mail scanner, and scheduled hard disc scans. But what really amazes us is the frequency of the virus definitions and application updates available from GRISOFT."
