The kind of threats from the internet has increased to just beyond viruses - spamware, adware, worms …. What you would need is a comprehensive security that not only protects against viruses, but also against all the threats.

Since there are so many of them in the market, it can be a bit confusing on which one to buy - I have highlighted a few +ves and -ves of using AVG.

** Note : Just the AVG antivirus is available for free […], comes with a complete antivirus but lacks comprehensive protection.

+vesn======n + 80 million users world wide - means somebody would have already found the virus & signature before it affects your computer. I do not know if there is any other anti virus make who can claim such a comprehensive database of virus signatures.n + Thin memory & CPU footprint - means this software takes little CPU power and leaves the rest to your main programsn + 2 year subscription - compare this with 1 year subscription which most manufacturers provide today. 2 years at this price is a stealn + AVG has been in business since 1992 - maintained a low profile, spends little on marketing, and more on R&D - a very decent company who are committed to providing the best antivirus for the marketnn-vesn======n - this product may not work with Windows 7, it mentions that it works only with windows xp, vista & 2000nnComparison with other antivirus makers:n - This definitely rates far better than PC Tools & McAfeen - Comparing AVG with Kaspersky is difficult, Kaspersky is an equally good anti-virus. But the 2-year subscription on AVG at this price makes it more attractive than Kaspersky.
