AVG isn't that good,not the best choice. Use:



browser - http://www.opera.com/



antivirus - http://www.avast.com/



antispyware - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...



.................... - http://www.safer-networking.org/ro/downl...



firewall - http://www.tallemu.com/



They are all the best in their category and FREE and you need them all.

we all use it here download it an be safe surfing ---- here is another good on to put on ur comp. --- it will let u know when u try to log on a bad site with spyware and viruses
That depends on your definition of "Good".



If receiving NO notification about viral attacks is "good", then yes... AVG Free is great!



However, if you actually want to keep viruses OFF your computer, AVG is NOT GOOD.



Generally speaking, "Free" in AVS is equal to "Useless". If you want actual effective protection, you have to pay for it. Right now, the three best Security Suites I know of and have experience with are ca Security Suite 2008, Norton 360 , and the equivalent suite from McAfee (it's name escapes me right now). All are subscription services and provide regular updates (your system will poll the page of the software's publisher each time you log-on, or if you never log-off - every day or so).
I have used AVG Anti Virus, Zone Alarm Firewall, Spy-bot Search and Destroy and Ad Aware both spyware killers for years. They are all free for personal use and I have had no trouble with Viruses Trojans etc. AVG does not slow the system down as much as some other products and Zone Alarm allows a lot of personal configuration unlike the Windows Firewall. They can all be downloaded from download.com I also use Windows Defender from the Microsoft site. It is safe to use two anti-spy products but never use more than one A/V as it can cause conflicts. You should run A/V and anti spy weekly. Hope this helps
AVG is a decent antivirus program but not good. Try avira antivir classic, avast home edition or moon secure antivirus. + also install an antispyware/antimalware software like spybot SD, threatfire free or spywareblaster. Then add a free firewall like comodo firewall pro, ghostwall or kerio personal firewall 4.
AVG is one of the best free anti-virus softwares but i personally prefer Avira ( http://www.free-av.com ) since for me, it ha higher detection rate than AVG. proven on countless flash drives, external hds and even psp's.
I have been using AVG Free for a few years now and I am quite satisfied with it. It caught a Trojan on my thumbdrive just as I plugged it into my computer.
