Unobtrusive (unlike Norton), it works (unlike Norton), it's free (unlike Norton).

Bad Points

After 5 years of use ... can't find any!

General Comments

It has to be said - Grisoft AVG version 6 is best! You can't download this version from the website now, unfortunately, but up-dates are regular and often - I pity those who have to use version 7 - it's OK but not as good.

I fix/repair computers for people who have problems, and I despair at the amount of problems caused by viruses/worms that Norton simply does not detect however strict the up-dating may be!

Let's face it - Norton hogs your machine, slows it down, and does not do the job it is supposed to - AVG does !

I have personally used AVG for over 5 years and no viruses - I install it on all my customers PC's with no comeback.

It's free, does not reduce your system to a crawl, and provides constant up-dates - install it now (but ensure you un-install any other anti-virus software first as they will conflict and you will get infected as a result).

    Um.... on the free.grisoft.com website, they said that AVG 6.0 would no longer be updated on a certain date which we are now over by almost a half a year.

    Sorry to contradict you, but there are two version 6's - strange but true ! Yes, one of the versions was discontinued a while back with no up-dates as a result. The version I use is now at version 6.30.00.17 and I up-date every two weeks - last update was 23/05/05.
