Ive been using AVG free for quite some time now and I recommend it to everyone. Ive only had 1 virus that I was not able to remove with AVG, but other than that AVG has done an excellent job of protecting & cleaning every system that I own! I currently use it on my laptop running xp pro sp3 and my desktop running vista home premium 64bit.

I've been using AVG Free for about as long as I have been going online. It seems to catch everything, including stuff on web pages! I use it all the time & recommend it to anybody who goes online.

Norton is basically useless it can detect a virus and can not delete which makes it useless nand it is expensive. Avg is free and can delete viruses and takes less resourcefully. btw the best anti-virus in my opinion is bitdefender it only cost 30 dollars a year and i a great program

This has been a solid antivirus software. I load it on my computers and on my clients. It does a nice job catching viruses, and does not use up close to the amount of memory that McAfee and Norton use.

AVG is one of the best ... why because all the hackers attack places like Norton or McAfee. Here on AVG they seem to leave US alone here lol <img src="http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/6787/aroomi1.gif" border=0>

This is a Excellent Anti virus! It is free and does its job well. I used EZ Armor anti virus for a year a couple years back when my University had it offered for free for a year then charged after that year, but after the year expired a friend in college suggested AVG Free to me and now I do not look back. AVG Rocks! I would not spend money on any anti virus unless you are a company and have to.

AVG free is simply brilliant it has never failed me in three years and has stopped many virus's. And the price is great(FREE).I have installed it on all my computers and all my friends and family computers and it has not failed them either.If you need AFFORDABLE, RELIABLE and EASY TO USE anti-virus software you wont do any better than "AVG Free Edition"
