AVG Antivirus Free is an antimalware security suite that includes an active file and email scanner, plus Web browsing protection. Avast Software (AVG's main competitor) bought AVG Technologies in October 2016, but the two brands and product lines remain separate. Highly customizable behavior: It doesn't look like it at first glance, but AVG Antivirus Free offers a variety of sliders and checkboxes to let you tweak its scanning behavior. Click the Menu button and select Settings to see all your options. They are categorized and nested intuitively, and you can create backups of your settings (it would also be nice to have an option to reset everything to defaults. Helpful explanations of jargon: A lot of settings have an "i" icon you can put your mouse pointer on to display a small pop-up window with more information. If that's not enough, there's a context-sensitive. button in the upper right that will take you to an AVG webpage with more detailed information about what the setting does. Ideally, this extra layer of info would be available offline, but such a feature is unfortunately rare among antivirus apps. Historically above-average malware detection: According to the tests performed in the past by independent labs such as AV-Test and AV Comparatives, AVG has performed moderately better than one would expect from a free malware scanner. Upsell-oriented interface: Antivirus companies prefer paying customers, and they are sometimes more aggressive about converting free users than we'd like. When you double-click the AVG icon in the Windows system tray, it doesn't take you to the antivirus interface. Instead, it displays AVG Zen, which advertises three tools not included in the AVG Antivirus Free package: PC Tuneup, HMA Pro VPN, and Web Tuneup. There's a button on the far left to access your antivirus, but the following window divides your tools into Basic Protection and Full Protection, the latter of which is not included. Then there's a section below with more product offers. Full Protection includes a software firewall, file encryption, and a mechanism to detect when an imposter website is trying to trick you into giving it your credit card info; that package costs $70 per year. It does not include the VPN (virtual private network) or the tuneup tools; those are bundled with AVG Ultimate, which costs $100 per year. Alternatively, you can get the PC Tuneup tool separately for $50 per year, the VPN for $100 per year, and the Web Tuneup tool for free. These are all substantially higher prices than you'll see for Norton, McAfee, and other competing security suites, which makes the upsells that much more disagreeable. Not to mention that PC Tuneup's functionality is largely replicated by CCleaner (Windows. Mac ), which you can get for free. AVG offers a fine degree of control and competently explains its various functions, but user appeal is diminished by a sales-driven interface. [Correction: A previous version of this review stated that Avast's malware scanner produced a false positive, which turned out to be incorrect upon further investigation. This changes the review score from 3 stars to 3.5 stars. Publisher's Description.

It works at blocking what it suppose to block I assume. It is constantly putting up pop-up screens for no reason that try to sell you something. I downloaded this program to stop this stuff from happening and what I get is worse than what I am trying to prevent. All efforts to turn it off or bypass the problems are useless. I want my antivirus program to be invisible not intrusive. I am searching for an alternative. Reply by AVG-Team on May 31, 2017. Thanks for trying AVG AntiVirus Free!

Watch Out - May Cause Major Problems. 2017-05-24 18:06:36 | By avalantis. | Version: AVG AntiVirus Free 17.3.3443. - Slow download (AVG server congestion?) - Begins unstoppable scan upon install - Almost impossible to remove. I installed this on Windows Vista. First, it took almost 30 minutes to download. Then after it was finally installed, AVG Free immediately began scanning, preventing the PC from being used for anything else. The scan could not be stopped or paused NO MATTER WHAT. Task Manager had no effect - the only way I could stop this monstrosity was to uninstall it via windows Add/Remove programs WHILE IT WAS RUNNING. I was unable to completely remove the entire program; I tried AVG's own "AVG Remover tool" but it only removed part of it. Ultimately I had to remove it manually, then use CCleaner to get rid of the junk that this turkey scattered throughout the Window's Registry. The entire nightmare took hours! Save yourself the headache and look into another A/V. I ended up with Panda Free - not the most effective program, but at least it doesn't slow the machine down to a crawl and then commandeer it. Reply by AVG-Team on May 25, 2017. We're sorry to hear you weren't pleased with our software. There are occasional instances where the Add/Remove programs feature of Windows doesn't work. We created the uninstaller for this: urlName=How-to-uninstall-AVG q=uninstall+tool Generally, a computer restart is required to finish the uninstalling process. The scan itself can be paused by opening AVG Zen and clicking on the AVG Internet Security program to open it, then click on the Reports option at the top right corner of the screen. There, you will find the options to pause or stop the scan. More information and instructions can be found on page 14 of the User Manual.

Is AVG actually a virus. 2017-05-16 08:59:08 | By eterntyinanhour9. | Version: AVG AntiVirus Free 17.3.3443. This used to be good software, but now it's trash. 1.) email stopped working for a little while. I finally got it working and the first email I was able to send had "virus free- in the signature. 2.) Disturbed, I call their support. The lady refused to help me because I hadn't paid for software. I explained that this software was tampering with my emails and this was beyond just a software issue but an absolute complaint. She then chose to respond to everything I said with, "I'm sorry. I can not help you if you aren't a paid customer. Go online to our help page." Over and over and over this was the response. 3.) I go to uninstall the program. It took a while to uninstall and then naturally, my computer restarted. To my unhappiness, AVG is still somehow on my computer. WHAT THE CRAP IS THIS. Do not use this software. I don't know anything about the paid version, but the free version is acting like a virus itself. I will never use this software again. Reply by AVG-Team on May 17, 2017.

Not the same AVG. 2017-04-15 21:17:49 | By Mr. Bill3918. | Version: AVG AntiVirus Free 17.3.3443. No false positives. Nice set of configuration options in the menu. Quite heavy on many disabled features on the interface and pop-up ads in the notification area prompting you to buy the pro version. Even had a pop-up interrupt a game and crash it, despite having Game Mode enabled. For many years, AVG Free was my go-to antivirus. Aside from running it on all my own PCs, I also downloaded and installed it to remove trojans and worms that had gotten past more popular pro security suites on other people's computers. Today, I couldn't seriously recommend it, not even for a temporary installation. Reply by AVG-Team on April 17, 2017. Thank you for being an AVG customer over the years.

Do not install this program. 2017-04-04 08:05:02 | By dexteriot. | Version: AVG AntiVirus Free 17.1.3008. Free, probably good virus detection rate. Too many add ons, unnecessary warnings (to scare people and make them buy pro version??). The biggest problem is that it silently signs you up for trials like Hacking Protection and other types of protections when they expire it will corrupt your Windows user profile and when you login it will look like a new installation of Windows - fresh desktop, empty My Documents, uninstalled programs etc. It's a common problem with AVG. Use system restore if that happens. I think it's on purpose to make people buy pro version. Despite all negative reviews I installed AVG and since day 1 it has been nothing but a trouble. What a horrible product. Reply by AVG-Team on April 6, 2017. Thank you for trying AVG. We're sorry to hear you've had problems with your system and would like to assure you our goal is to protect you and your devices, not corrupt your profile.

March 24, 2017 | By zzpat. 2017-03-24 07:17:10 | By zzpat. | Version: AVG AntiVirus Free 17.1.3008. It's huge and it takes forever to download. Then the update takes as long as the original download. God help you if you have to shut down your computer for any reason. If you shut down midway, it'll crash your operating system. So expect to have this program take over your computer for a few hours and then saturate you with ads a few times a day. It's worse than a virus. It takes over your computer and you can't stop it. You've been warmed. Reply by dexteriot on April 4, 2017. Thank you for the warning! I too regret installing AVG, should've listened to you. Reply by AVG-Team on March 24, 2017. Our software was designed to be fast and efficient, so we're concerned to hear your download and updates have been taking that long. Please contact us at with more information so we can look into this further. Thanks. to many add ons. 2017-02-26 22:53:36 | By wet cat. | Version: AVG AntiVirus Free 17.1.3008. AVG became the top virus software on most computers in early 2000 because it was a small easy and powerful program. Now it has become like norton and the other virus checkers bloated with things you don't need or want for that matter. And removal is just like Norton, it gets into everything and you have to manually delete reg files, its like a virus itself that fights you when you want to uninstall. BRING BACK THE OLD AVG. Reply by AVG-Team on February 27, 2017. Thanks for being an AVG customer over the years. We're sorry to hear you haven't been happy with our recent updates and would love to hear which features you would be most interested in keeping, as well as why you think others should go. Please contact us at and let us know. Cant seem to uninstall completely. 2017-02-12 06:16:44 | By bcwyattusa. | Version: AVG AntiVirus Free 17.1.3008. It is easy to use but too much advertising with it. I downloaded it to check it out to see if I wanted to purchase it. I changed my mind but still left with part of the program that keeps asking me to buy. I just want it off my computer! I have removed all the files except the ones it will not let me. Do not download because you can't remove it totally just like Norton was at one time. Updated on Feb 26, 2017. Need to file a suite against them just like people did against Norton for not letting you uninstall it. This is bull not being able to uninstall it completely. Reply by AVG-Team on February 13, 2017. Thanks for trying AVG AntiVirus Free. We're sorry to see you go. If you do decide to come back at any time, ads can be turned off entirely in our upgraded products, but we do have a way to adjust the frequency of them in our Free software by following the instructions listed here: urlName=How-to-Change-the-Frequency-of-Pop-Up-Notifications q=how+to+turn+off+ads.

February 01, 2017 | By wdj03. 2017-02-01 19:10:50 | By wdj03. | Version: AVG AntiVirus Free 17.1.3008. I suppose it might provide virus protection. Constant popups and ads. You might as well install malware or adware yourself. Don't waste your time. This used to be a good, lightweight antivirus but now it's worse than what it protects you from.
