AVG antivirus free 9.0 for Windows & Linux
In humble beginings in 1991, AVG Technologies (was Grisoft) the creators of AVG antivirus started developing this fantastic software.
AVG is without a doubt the most well known free antivirus software.
The pros:
- Free updates have been rolling out for over a decade now
- User interface is easy to use (see fig.1)
- Updates are automated as well as scheduled scans
- It's efficient in it's use of resources in real time scans
- Easy set-up for proxy Internet connections
The cons:
- Small amount of advertising in the user interface (this is petty me putting this)
- Has been wrong with detecting systems files as infected (false positives)
Overall:
This software is awsesome! If you run a business purchase the corporate version.
