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.

The only time I will have something negative to say is when my computer gets infected.
This is a great alternative to the overpriced BIG NAME anti virus products.
Recomended.

Tech Level Review. May 7, 2010

AVG 2010 was reviewed by many different sources and later found to be one of the most comprehensive and easy to use utility softwares available. I purchased in May of 2010 after Norton let me down with a trojan associated with the Adobe program in January of 2010, and they failed to aid me in support. Not that they didn't try, but their services were offered to me on a paid basis to aid in recovery. I use Win 7 Ultimate and after install I haven't had any problems. Some of the other users report difficulty in setting up a firewall on their system, after using it myself I would have to question their level of knowledge in computers at all... as for the cracks about the India support, truthfully Microsoft has many of their offices setup there, along with Iraq, Afghanistan, etc so Where the support comes from really isn't that much of an issue but whether or not they can help at all.

DO NOT BUY THIS SOFTWARE! August 14, 2010
Mark Elliott (Chicago, IL USA)
When I had a problem renewing the subscription for Kaspersky, I liked the ease of downloading AVG from Amazon, and the price was right. Big mistake! It allowed a spyware "exploit" in that completely disabled my machine. $200 and a trip to the Geek Squad later, it was still causing problems, locking up my computer when I tried to run the uninstall routine to install McAfee. Stay away!

I can See why they have to Give their Software away for Free! April 13, 2010
Steve McEnroe (Dallas, TX USA)

Of course AVG is known for their free software anti-virus people can download. This software however must be paid for. At $40 it is no bargain either. One could buy from companies like Norton, McAfee, or Trend Micro for less. These are all established players in the anti-virus game unlike AVG--which is known as the free anti-virus company.
I had a problem with the install of my product and the support was frankly a joke. It said I could pay for support, for my brand-new program. Thanks AVG for throwing me under the bus. Pay for support for your product which is brand new? I could buy a legitimate product from any of the known companies above and have free support which doesn't consist of playing email tag with someone from India.
This thing is going right back for a return. I am going back with Trend Micro where I get free support and get to speak with a live human being. Until AVG gets real customer support it will only be good for free software downwloads! The safest thing you can do is not buy this software.
