The AVG free version does not rid your system of every bad file on it. If you have say 150 malicious ware, AVG free version will probably expell about 50 out of that. I still had so many pop ups and slow computer performance. Avg has annoying pop ups that gives you options whether to delete a bad file, quarantine, ignore etc. So you click remove or quarantine and it prompts you to restart your computer. You do everything it tells you and guess what? That same annoying pop up box keeps showing up even though you asked to remove it. A full system scan takes me about 1.5 hours and afterwards I'm still bombarded with spyware. I suspect the pay version just removes a tad more files but not too much different.

This AVG Internet Security Product seems to do its job, however it does so at the expense of your computers resources. It slowed every aspect of my 3 computers to a snails pace. PC: 1GM or 2GB Ram, 2.1Ghz Pentium II. Opening documents SLOW, accessing the internet SLOW, opening Outlook SLOW, booting up SLOW. I did every speed trick I could find out about and it was still slow; used a program to clean and delete unused files (.tmp, etc). Cleaned out all non-critical start up programs, I made sure there was plenty of free space on my hard disk. I used a registry cleaner (ccleaner [free]) to clean up my registry. I defragged the drive, still SLOW, SLOW, SLOW. I then removed AVG and WOW it is like a new PC, fast again. By the way last years Norton 360 had similar effects.

Product appears to work well in terms of protecting your PC. But there appears to be some not so user friendly aspects:
* Package says 3 - user but I have been unable to load it on a second PC
* As for any support, you need a code to access the support and the code I entered does not work, making it impossible to get support.

Software : Grisoft AVG Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware 2-Year
This software works well and is reasonably priced compared to the alternatives (eg. Norton). It does have one quirk I find annoying. The virus scan cannot be scheduled less frequently than daily. For computers with occasional use, the virus scan which runs in the background is almost always on. Also the virus scan is a little slow. Anti-virus updates occur almost daily and download easily. The addition of a firewall to this suite would also be helpful. It does do a good job of finding spyware.

I have bought and installed AVG Internet Security on both family computers and my wife and I have both been attacked by Trojans and other viruses that have been fended off by AVG with no harm to our computers at all.

AVG has served us well and I highly recommend it to anyone who takes internet and computer security seriously.
