| Product: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition v.8.0.100a1295
AVG 8.0 Free the best so far...
i been using different anti virus for a while, searching for the right one for my pc. until avg 8.0 free edition came, it solve my pc prblems.
AVG 8.0 Free has the ff component
Resident Shield is very active in scanning every file in details, but takes a lot of memory
Rapid Updates
Forum support
Very nice GUI compared to competetitor AVAST, AVIRA and PC Tools
Anti-Virus and Anti spyware w/ link scanner (which is very useful, its like mc affe site advisor)
Email Scanner
CONS: TAKES A LOT OF MEMORY SPECIALLY THE RESIDENT SHIELD
Overall its a complete package for a free anti virus
its better to hav this on your machine together with Windows Defender. you will feel very protective.
Competitors
Avira - lacking of anti spyware, ang mail scanner(but takes very low system resources)
Avast - lacking of schedule scanning(but also great)
PC Tools - lacking of anti spyware(but very fast in scanning and takes very low system resources.
