AVG Anti-Virus
Good But With False Positives.
Pros: The interface was nice. It works averagely good.
Cons: Agreed with some people here, I finally realised that the new versions of AVG aren't any good. But about system resources, it's not a problem to me. The new version of AVG has a lot of false positives which the previous version doesn't. I don't think AVG 8.0 is an ideal antivirus for you to rely on, but perhaps the free version is okay for you to use.
AVG Anti-Virus
Disappointed with the latest version...
Pros: To be perfectly frank there are a number of Antivirus solutions that are at least as good and in some peoples views better tahn AVG including Esset Nod 32, Avast and Avira to name but a few...
Cons: 1.) I find that it is heavy on resources on my computer compared to version 7 which I liked very much.
2.) I have and had a few compatability issues with version 8 and different programs on my computer which are currently not resolved. I found version 7 to be more stable.
3.) I have found that AVG support is a lot slower to respond to emails re my problems then they were in the past. For that reason I won't be renewing my contract when it expires later this year.

Don't uninstall 7.5
Cons: Its a step back from 7.5, has an annoying reminder that indicates it only works for about 30 days. You cannot remove the toolbar it installs, then tells you your not secure if it is not enabled. That really annoyed me and reminded me of Norton, with it's annoying false warnings. The scans scan for tracing cookies, which is a lot, so it is really difficult to track down the actual malware
