AVG AntiVirus may let you down unless, you buy it...

Pros: This program is very good. Free updates, auto updates it's self when new definitions are available. AntiSpyware built in. Has saved me many times when downloading infected attachments. Good stuff.
Cons: Doesn't seem to stop those malicious email scripts from installing. If you recieve a malicious email script AVG will alert you WHEN your INFECTED. Also, the AntiSpyware is disabled after 30 days. I had to use system restore, to solve the issue of the infection that the script caused via email. I know what your thinking: why whould I download a malicious script from someone I don't know? Did you know...you can get infected simply by clicking on the email to see what it is with out even downloading the script (ofcourse, this is a yahoo! vulnerability) I'm not sure about other email clients. Remember to always download with caution. Well, that's my review on this AVG program, happy browsing :)

AVG is perhaps the best antivirus software i ever used...but it seems that its antispyware does not work as it should...I used superantispyware free edition to detect a browser hijacker which AVG did not detect...Also found a minor problem at the automatic update level... WHY...????
