two words....THE BEST
Pros: i came over from avg 6.0 pretty good but two much of a hassle trying to update, and a little slow on scanning, now, this version is great, it is by far better the Norton and McAfee, which both are system resource hogs, AVG downloads in a snap, no more email activation just to set up, after which, yes, you want to register it online. AVG deep scans, or fast scans which ever you want, the interface is nice and to the point resulting in ease of preferred set up, it alerts immediately when or if one is found either already on the system or snuck in, great for worms, and malware. unlike the older 6.0 version, this one scans in safe mode and updates are quicker and more automated. it set itself by default to scan silently at windows start up, and again, unlike Norton or McAfee, dose not slow the system to a crawl as it does. Great email protection with Outlook Express, or my choice, Thunderbird by Mozilla. It is a fully functional, COMPLETELY FREE AntiVirus protection, no more having to pay outrageous prices for shotty symantec or mcafee products which, again, slow the system to a crawl, and are both easily disabled by most viril and malware, end resulting in having to uninstall them and reinstall them, IF that works in the first place, and if you choose to switch to lets say Avast!, uninstalling AVG is no problem whatsoever, it leaves peacefully and happily without leaving major remnants of it or taking half your system down with its departure. kudos to Grifsoft and CNET for great products and software. oh and btw, there is online support for the free version of AVG now....
Cons: the deep scans are a little slow and the logs are not all to user friendly if you are not familar with system processes, as it does not provide enough info on where exactly an infection is, and does not let you know when certain files cannot be read or are protected until after the scan is complete.
