Pros: I have read through most of the comments and most people seem to agree it's a good freebee! I think AVG goes from strength to strength and at the end of the day it is free. If you want something extra then get the paid version or another pay for anti virus.It was very easy to install and set up with the updates only taking about a minute. So don't know why others had such problems. Also the scan took a total of 21 minutes ( and not hours!)you can adjust the speed of the scan. Common sense at the bottom setting the scan will take longer and at the higher setting it will of course be much faster! I found it very easy to use with a very simple uncomplicated set up.
With any new software read the help files and learn how to use the settings before complaining about it! If you think it's so bad just find something else better and let us know about it.But at the end of the day AVG is VERY popular. Keep up the good work boys and girls at AVG!
Cons: Nothing to complain about.

If you have Spybot, Spywareblaster , Advanced windows care or any software that immunizes against spyware or adware then you are going to have false readings. What is happening is the scan is picking these files up, just ignore them as they are false readings. AVG does explain this on their online help files, but some people just presume the worst and say 'AVG is so bad' before getting an answer. Initially i thought 'WOW i have 27,000 infections'! but thats not the case as explained above.
