Good Points

AVG 8.0 has a small footprint, excellent security coverage and reliable.
Neat inidicators tell whether a webpage can be trusted- very useful.
Ability to alter the speed of a scan, and to shut down the computer at the end of a scan.


Bad Points

They fail to tell you that, if you install from disc, the licence runs from the day of purchase not the day of installation.
Customer support is average (but no worse than other products)


General Comments

AVG 8.0 is an excellent product that installs quickly and smoothly. Its footprint is small and yet it provides thorough security coverage. It is intuitive to use, updates rapidly, and has the ability to change the speed of a scan depending on your work at the time. The indicators showing the safety of a webpage is very neat.

On the downside, if you install from a disc, they fail to inform you that the licence runs from the date of purchase, not the installation date. If you wait 2 months before your previous antivirus licence expires, you lose 2 months of AVG licence time. Their customer support tends to give you rapid, but stock answers. They then repeat those answers if you reply. However, this is probably no worse than other antivirus providers.
