User Reviews about 2YR Avg Anti-virus V8.5 Win 1LIC Big Box [OLD VERSION]

This software works well and is reasonably priced compared to the alternatives (eg. Norton). It does have one quirk I find annoying. The virus scan cannot be scheduled less frequently than daily. For computers with occasional use, the virus scan which runs in the background is almost always on. Also the virus scan is a little slow. Anti-virus updates occur almost daily and download easily. The addition of a firewall to this suite would also be helpful. It does do a good job of finding spyware. -- A reasonably computer protection with some problems

I have been through the lot! THIS IS THE BEST ANTI-VIRUS I HAVE EVER HAD - and it comes with THE MOST EFFECTIVE ANTI-SPYWARE today!

For years I sweared by NORTON - until two years ago it got so heavy and demanding it slowed my computer to a crawl. Then I gave McAFEE a try which, although lighter, pestered me with pop-up messages. When that license expired I gave KASPERSKY Internet Security a try: real secure feeling and detailed settings control; however, a number of internet applications, although given full internet access, were slowed to a trickle.

A couple of months ago I downloaded the AVG AV & ANTI-SPYWARE as a 30-day trial. I liked it so much, I gave their INTERNET SECURITY a try too!
Yes, THIS IS THE ONE!

Light, heuristically effective (it even found a malware that KASPESKY failed to locate - and KASPERSKY has the best reputation on cleaning out everything!), no conflicts, email integration (although not with ThunderBird yet, a minor glitch), excellent AI and quiet.
This is legendary AntiVirus that blew the whistle on BIOSHOCK's RootKit!

It may seem a bit pricey, yet keep in mind that it comes with a 2 YEAR license, not the usual 12 months that most other Security applications come with.

If you already have a Firewall solution (no, I don't mean the one Windows comes with, that is a joke - the best free one is ZONE ALARM) THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED. If, however, you want a comprehensive Security solution, try AVG INTERNET SECURITY instead.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

UPDATE [April 26, 2008]: AVG offered the FREE option to upgrade to v8.0 for the remainder of the license to every customer that had bought v7.5. Now, THIS is a company that knows how to built customer loyalty! -- FINALLY! A SECURITY SOLUTION WHICH IS BOTH EFFECTIVE & LIGHT!

Great software. Easy to use. Does not slow down your computer. Does not remove vital files. Excellent support service. Reasonable price. Before AVG, I had purchased McAfee and Norton -- I removed both from my computers because they both caused major malfunctions. -- Highly recommend it.
