USER REVIEW ON AVG FREE ANTIVIRUS


I have been trying out Avg free antivirus over past months.And
I thought,why not prepare a user review about the same and
here is the things that I think about the product.

General Info:

-It’s a free antivirus program from AVG who has another
premieum product too in the antivirus segment.
-It does not have a firewall with it.( most free antivirus software don’t have it but I have seen firewall in the comodo internet security system-which too offer free).
-Link scanner does a good job.

Facts I found about it:

-Scanning time required are less for almost every type of scan
compared to the free products in market.
-Boot time reqiured increased considerably.While shutdown time not much affected.
-Other running programs perfomances are not affected.Which is a very postive thing.
-Link scanner eventhough is good.It will exit the web browser without giving any chance for the user to pause downloading tasks,saving open web based works..etc(So you have to be in caution every time you feel that the computer is not responding the way that it should and start taking the action).
This can prove to be highly frustrating at times and I did not find any settings change options for this.*If someone found this do post as a comment.*
-Its real times protection features are quite good.

So Prons and cons:

Prons includes:

1.Its free.
2.Online support is also good.
3.Virus detection shows stableness and seldom saw any safe files being shown as a threat while many other free antivirus does that often.
4.Not affecting the speed and efficiency of executing other apps.
5.User interface is simple.
6.It does not need any registering to continue usage(Which is
the case of free antivirus like the avast after 30 days).

Cons includes:

1.Slows the booting considerably(I will put it in between 10-20sec) and shutdown too is lagging in time (not as much as booting ofcourse !!) compared to a non protected system or other free antivirus I have tried.

2.Apps like PC analyser(I meant the full thing not available-only a one time free online test) not given in the free edition.Controlling settings of apps is difficult.

3.Annoying advertisements with AVG FREE ANTIVIRUS will cause the system to lag and this can make the software appear sluggish to you.
On weighting the pros and cons from listed even though the number of pros being more I uninstalled it from my system.Mainly due to the sluggishness it caused on my computer.
