OK, so you have your PC up-and-running and now you need to protect it from the viruses that you have to come to expect in email and on the internet. Well, I have tried a couple of different free antiviruses, but my favorite has to be AVG Free. Currently in version 7.5, AVG Free, is a full-featured, yet easy-to-use program.
Beginning with an easy to use console, you will find that AVG Free gives you the ability to do not only full system scans, but also scans of selected files, folders, or entire drives. Also, once installed, you can simply right click on a file and select the “Scan with AVG Free” option and scan your newly downloaded files to ensure that they are safe to open and run.
AVG Free also allows for automatic updating and scheduled scanning, making very easy to keep up-to-date on the latest threats, knowing that you will be protected.
Last, but not least, AVG also allows for real-time protection. So, if you are downloading programs, music, movies, etc. from web sites that are off the beaten path, AVG will catch any of the downloads that have viruses in them.
Overall, AVG Free is a great product that is easy to find, easy to use, and actually works as good as it says it will. If you don’t already have an antivirus running, hurry up and get AVG Free and make sure that you are protected.
