Is it still free, though ?
I used it for 2/3 years, but recently had terrible connection problems. I noticed that the AVG claimed to be 'unsafe' and needed my computer to be rebooted. so I did more than a few times, but the mesaage remained the same. And I was without anti-virus protection.
So, I deleted AVG , with a view to restarting with it again, but it demanded $
OTOH, I then tried Hermit's recommended 'Comodo' - and bingo ! Antivirus installed, and my connection now works again.
Thanks EH .
AVG do different versions, but the free version is still available. The only problem that i had was when an algorithm within a Java update was detected as a threat, but this was rectified the next day when AVG updated. Otherwise, i would firmly recommend AVG. Another facility that can be used to carry out an on demand check on your system is housecall. This can be found on the
Trend Micro website. I give my system a sweep from time to time with this as even if you don't find any viruses, a second check by another programme does give you more confidence.
