Back in February, Grisoft released AVG 8.0 Professional which included anti-rookit and anti-spyware along with virus protection. I was a little disappointed because AVG 8.0 wasn’t available in free edition, and I was curiously waiting my favorite anti-virus to get a facelift. Yesterday, Grisoft released the free edition of AVG 8.0, which offers basic anti-virus protection for Windows XP and Vista.
Along with the new improved interface, AVG 8.0 Free can also bash spywares/adwares and includes basic LinkScanner for Safe Search.
I’ve been using AVG for over year now, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking for free anti-virus protection. It’s one of the best rated anti-virus suites available for Windows.

I am grabbing it…
I am a trusted user of AVG. I have tried all sorts of affordable anti-virus like Avast & Norton but in vain. AVG has never ever let me down. I STRONGLY recommend AVG if you are a simple home user.

This is good advise which I intend taking. Thank you.

Avast is quite okay. The only problem is that it tends to run all the unnecessary protection services (by default) which can make your computer run as slow as a snail.

I must admit that I don’t think that it is any were close to as resource rich as Norton. Norton was a royal pain in the *** and I was having problems sending and receiving emails.
I have been using AVG addition and its by far the best solution out there and it is FREE.
So much for the phrase nothing is for nothing because this is.

I have been using AVG for about a year now and I love it! I love hearing that my Virus database has been updated every day lol. If you have it, you know what i’m talking about.

I landed up on the AVG site today and was about to buy, but thought how much better can it be then the original. $54 is quite a bit if we are going to update 15 PC’s. What is it that we get, really, which is so much more.
