AVG's Secret Weapon

AVG Anti-Virus & Anti-Spyware also has a secret weapon other anti-virus products don't have. It has LinkScanner. LinkScanner takes over where your anti-virus doesn't go--into the depths of web pages you haven't even visited yet.

LinkScanner gives you a vital extra layer of protection you won't find in other anti-virus software. And you can use it in combination with firewalls and anti-spam products from other companies with no loss of protection or PC performance.

Most web threats these days are literally here today, gone tomorrow. So the only way to protect yourself is to use software that checks the page behind every link at the only time that matters--right before you click on it.

Whenever you're on the web, the moment you go to click on a link, LinkScanner analyzes the page behind that link to tell you whether there's something nasty hiding there.

For added peace of mind, you also get safety ratings for your Google, Yahoo! and Bing/MSN search results.

Why AVG?

We've designed our software so you can surf, chat, work, and social network while we take care of security. We're so quiet and efficient, you won't even know we're there. But you can rest assured that we are.

AVG's unique LinkScanner scans web pages before you visit them.
AVG's enhanced scanner keeps your system running smoothly--online or off.

It's important to use the right level of protection for your needs.

Well worth the price! This is one of the best anti-virus programs! November 24, 2009

Some people have never heard of AVG Anti-Virus, but it's a product I've been using their free version for many years. ([...]) .

Let me start by saying I'm a Systems Administrator and we use other big names and those virus protection programs are bloated and put heavy processor loads on the systems they protect. Because of my experience with McAffe and Norton I chose not to run those at home and instead used the free version of AVG's product.

What I found was that AVG was a low demand scanner. In other words unlike most other virus programs you really don't know this one is there, and it has what I would say is a better anti virus engine then the big names.

So why buy this version rather then get the free version? This version is a 2 year subscription and while the free does antivirus scanning there are a lot of "features" that are well worth the cost, and with so much spyware/adware trying to sneak into your Windows PC's these days you really need a top notch program protecting your PC and your sensitive data.

AVE has done a great job in their anti-spyware scanner, and they have a linkscanner which is very useful. In fact they have this on their free version as the AVG Toolbar for your internet browser. It tells you which links are safe, which are known threats and which ones you should be cautious with.

So while a lot of the 'unique" features are in the free version, the paid has the added protection of adware/spyware which really these days its more likely you get spyware/adware over a virus so you really need the protection. And from my experience with the big name companies and AVG I have always opted to choose AVG. It's what I run at home and have total confidence in and love the fact you never even know it's there except for the icons running in the task bar. If you want to view the menu's you can pull them up, but with the autmated scans, updates and repair features you install it and can forget it if you aren't the type that wants to tweak it.

A++ product, highly recommended.

Over the years i have had many different anti-virus programs and without any question AVG is the best that i have had.. Uses very little resources, stays in the background and does not "Nag". Whereas Norton, McAfee, Trendnet and panda among others will nag you to tears. I had Bitdefender 2010 installed before i installed AVG and what a difference, AVG actually catches Trojans etc, whereas Bitdefender lets em dance around all day.I think the retail version is worth buying because of course you get the full version so you can schedule different tasks etc....... Hope this helps in your decision making.

Super-easy to install March 1, 2010

While I am comfortable around computers I am a person that always seems to have a glitch when installing hardware and software. Re-booting my DSL system took 2 LOOOONG phone calls to India. Synching my wireless to the new lap top? Two weeks of on again/off again effort.

So, when I installed this on my new lap top I seriously considered just renewing the pre-loaded anti-virus program and calling it a day. But, I already had this AVG anti-virus program and ultimately I decided to be cheap and install what I already owned thanks to Amazon Vine.

So, how did it install?

Beautifully.

I was done in 20 minutes. I didnlt believe it and neither did my wife.

That was about a month ago and the AVAG program has been dutifully monitoring and ocassionally stopping me from clicking on virus-laden websites.

I've been using this software for less than 1 month and love it. Programs open up much, much faster. Email downloads faster. Updates are invisible. Even the computer boots up faster. I am very, very pleased.

Previously, I used McAfee and before that Norton's. McAfee was a huge resource hog .. updates really slowed down other operations running during the download, programs took a long time to open, the computer took at least twice as long to boot up .. the list goes on. McAfee's customer service was horrible . . they provided bad information . . as if they had never even used the software. I am sooo glad I switched. I wouldn't go back to either Norton's or McAfee.

Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware that doesn't get in your way December 10, 2009

The thing I like the most about the AVG Anti-Virus and Spyware software is that it runs in the background without bothering me and most of the time I don't even know it's there. I've used an earlier version of this software for just over a year, so when I saw this package being offered I ordered it for my husband's new PC which is running Windows 7. I like not having all the advertising pop-ups that I've had to deal with on other anti-virus programs and I also like that it doesn't seem to affect the speed of my computer when booting like some other titles have done in the past. I also like the fact that it installs very easily, just a few clicks of the mouse and you're on your way. What is under the hood may be complex, but from where I sit it's very easy to use and I've never had any problems with a virus.

This product comes with technical support although I've never had any reason to use it. It's pretty simple and straightforward. Another thing I like is it scans your downloads of music, files, and applications and does it in the background without slowing you down and it's behind the scenes where you don't even realize it's happening. You also get free upgrades automatically and scans automatically on a schedule that you can decide. You can also do a scan whenever you want by simply opening the AVG control center. There's a thing called LinkScanner SurfShield which ensures every website you visit is safe and you get a message if there's a question so you can avoid the site or override the software and take your chances.

All in all, it's a great security program. Fast, easy to use, doesn't bother you with a bunch of ads for add-on products and you are hardly aware that it's there working for you. Best of all, it doesn't cost an arm and a leg!
