Review by Robert J.
In the past Ive used Norton, McAffee & Zone Alarm.nIve used Zone Alarms Firewall in combination with AVG’s Virus/Spyware.nIve been using AVG’s complete package, Firewall/Anti-virus/Spyware for several years & (for me) this is the best Internet Security product Ive used.
No security product is perfect but AVG has done the best job of protecting my PC from the outside world & I feel more secure using this product than any other.
But like all software, AVG isn’t for everyone. If your level of PC knowledge is such that you need their ‘tech support’ to set it up & run, then I strongly suggest you use Norton, McAffee, Zone Alarm, PC Doctor or possibly Micro Softs Live One Care.nThose products are not bad, they are just not as good as AVG. However, they are more simplistic to use.nThey are also more intrusive & likely to slow down your computer.nI just gave my neighbor my copy of MS Live One Care that I got for free when I bought a Laptop & its perfect for them. I installed it for them & it will take care of all their needs & they won’t have to do anything at all really. Just follow directions…
But if you’re a little more computer savvy, AVG is the way to go. Im not an IT guy or an expert by any means but I can work my way through AVG just fine. Its really pretty simple to use but it does have more options than the products mentioned above & those options can be confusing at first.nBut those options just give you more control over your PC use & security & its well worth the effort to familiarize yourself with those options.
AVG also searches for root-kit’s & now has an Identity Protection function.
For the average PC user, I beleive AVG is the best protection available.
