Review by PT Cruiser

The thing I like the most about the AVG Anti-Virus and Spyware software is that it runs in the background without bothering me and most of the time I don’t even know it’s there. I’ve used an earlier version of this software for just over a year, so when I saw this package being offered I ordered it for my husband’s new PC which is running Windows 7. I like not having all the advertising pop-ups that I’ve had to deal with on other anti-virus programs and I also like that it doesn’t seem to affect the speed of my computer when booting like some other titles have done in the past. I also like the fact that it installs very easily, just a few clicks of the mouse and you’re on your way. What is under the hood may be complex, but from where I sit it’s very easy to use and I’ve never had any problems with a virus.

This product comes with technical support although I’ve never had any reason to use it. It’s pretty simple and straightforward. Another thing I like is it scans your downloads of music, files, and applications and does it in the background without slowing you down and it’s behind the scenes where you don’t even realize it’s happening. You also get free upgrades automatically and scans automatically on a schedule that you can decide. You can also do a scan whenever you want by simply opening the AVG control center. There’s a thing called LinkScanner SurfShield which ensures every website you visit is safe and you get a message if there’s a question so you can avoid the site or override the software and take your chances.

All in all, it’s a great security program. Fast, easy to use, doesn’t bother you with a bunch of ads for add-on products and you are hardly aware that it’s there working for you. Best of all, it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg!
