AVG Anti-Virus FREE is available free-of-charge to home users for the life of the product! Also, fast and rapid virus database updates are available for the lifetime of the product, thereby providing the high-level of detection capability that millions of users around the world trust to protect their computers online and offline. AVG Anti-Virus FREE is easy-to-use and will not slow your system down as it  consumes low system resources.

AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition is for private, non-commercial, single home computer use only. Use of AVG Free Edition within any organization or for commercial purposes is strictly prohibited. Your use of AVG Free Edition shall be in accordance with and is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the AVG Free Edition License Agreement which accompanies AVG Free Edition.

So, what does AVG Anti-Virus Free do differently that enable the software to standout from other anti-virus apps?

It has a compact anti-virus engine that won’t eat all your system resources. Test shows that the major AVG Anti-Virus components consume only around 4 MB of RAM when running in the background, for instance, and CPU utilisation is also very low, so most of the time you’ll never even know the program is there. The efficient approach pays off in scanning performance, with AVG Anti-Virus able to check your entire system at a very reasonable speed. Although if even that’s not fast enough, you could set up a custom scan that would run much more quickly. The default System Areas Test, for example, checked commonly infected areas on our test PC in under 5 seconds. Of course the real aim of AVG Anti-Virus is to prevent you getting infected in the first place, and so the program’s Resident Shield looks for and blocks threats before they can be launched. It will scan your incoming and outgoing mail, too, and you can also schedule further scans to trap anything that manages to get by.

In addition to traditional antivirus protection, AVG Free now offers protection from Spyware without installing extra software. An extra feature added is the AVG LinkScanner. Also available as a standalonedownload, LinkScanner works with Internet Explorer and Firefox to check links found in Google, Yahoo and MSN searches to make sure that there is no risk to clicking on the links. There is a slight delay as the pages are checked but it is worth the short wait in exchange for avoiding malicious (or hacked) sites.
