Description:
AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition is a famous, highly-awarded antivirus program, that despite its powerful features and advanced level of protection, is still freeware.
AVG 8.0, your computer protection system, is up and running immediately from the moment of installation. All basic settings have been pre-set by the manufacturer, so most of the time you will not have to worry about anything – just let AVG work in the background and protect you without any effort on your part. However, there might be situations where you need to adjust the program settings, or decide what to do with a virus infected file; this help system is here to provide detailed information and assist you with any task.
AVG will protect your safety while you search or surf the net, download music, documents and pictures, send emails or instant message by scanning documents, files, Web pages and Web links before you open them.
What AVG offers for free, other antivirus program offers for money. It has all the basic features of a powerful antivirus: real-time protection, scan scheduler, automatic or manually update, a module for handling the infected files (the 'Virus Vault'), additional protection modules (Anti Rootkit), customized scanning, etc.
When it comes to antivirus programs, a very important aspect is the low system resources requirements. As an antivirus is running permanently, you wouldn't want to see that half of your system resources are eaten away by your antivirus, even when it's not scanning or updating or something like that. Well, AVG is not a resource hog. Don't expect it to be the lightest, less resource-consuming antivirus on the market neither. But it surely consumes less resources than some (maybe even many) other antivirus programs that aren't even free.
Its interface is easy to understand for anyone, the security components and the status overview are shown in the main window, allowing an easy way to move forward to advanced using this tool.
The scanning may be easily scheduled and customized, there's nothing to complain about on this part. Even the anti-rootkit component may be easily configured.
The size of the Virus Vault (the tool that handles and stores securely all the detected infections) may be also changed.
