General Comments

It's an ok product but I seriously wouldn't recommend it. There are more reliable free scanners out there. It missed a virus I had on my machine. I managed to locate the virus's DLL's and EXE's myself, yet AVG reported them as being clean when I scanned them.
In the end the virus destroyed my operation system and I couldn't boot (thankfully I backed up my data recently).
It has also returned false positives on clean files many times (mostly anti cheat software for online games).
