Not a bad product. The best protection (and it's free!) has to be attributed to AOL (Yep, that's what it says) Active Virus Shield, based on Kaspersky. Hell has frozen over. Read the test results - http://www.virus.gr/engl...lt.asp?id=82&mnu=82

It often won't load in a Vista(Retail) reboot. While Avast works fine in VISTA and scans automatically.
I haven't tested AVG Pro, could be a better product.
Only 1 change shown @"AVG Free"website: new version:
"Fixed problem with scanning encrypted files on NTFS volumes"

I Have Been Using AVG Since 2001 Started With The Free version Then Went To Pro, Last Night I Bought The Malware AVG Which protects You From both Viruses & Spyware 44.95 USD Gets You 2 years Of Protection All My Clients Have it To, better reviews then both Norton & Mcafee & Many Others
AVG Finds Every Viorus I get, Avg Has Yet To Let me Or My Clients Down, Norton Mcafee panda And The Rest Have Always Crashed My Pc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have used AVG for years but it is always best to study the latest test results of independent experts:

I give a rating of 3 since it's free, easy to use, regular updates and small foot print in the memory. But me too not very satisfied with the detection rate it seems like Avast! is doing better than this one. Also when virus got infected it doesn't clear very well.
One thing I noticed that when I browse http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_file.htm using Firefox browser it download the anti virus test file but it's not downloading when I use Internet Explorer does it mean it allows virus to go though Firefox browser? I tested Norton Anti virus 9 Server Edition client at the office using Firefox and Internet Explorer it defends irrespective of the browser (I didn't download the anti virus test file).

I used to think this program was so great. It uses very little resources and updates every single day. That sounds nice and all until you learn how poor it's detection rates are. Suddenly those other nice features seem moot. That's not to say it's terrible, but the point is being as safe as possible and there is another free program called Avast that has better detection rates (at least at the time I compared them)
