4 out of 5 eggsWorks, but not worth paying for.

Pros: I don't have any viruses (or they simply aren't being caught). The scan is fairly quick, usually only a few minutes. I found that my other protections (Malwarebytes, firewall, etc) do most of the work, AVG just runs in the background.

Cons: Since I waited a few days to install this, I was able to gauge my internet/system speed. While it doesn't affect the system much as a whole, there is a slight decrease in speed when downloading many small files. Large files, no problem, but when I want to save, say, 100 or so pictures, the whole batch takes about twice as long as it did before I installed this software.

Other Thoughts: The only reason I use this is because it came free with Windows 7 home premium 64bit. I would not pay for AVG, their free version is good enough.

1 out of 5 eggs

Pros: it is antivirus protection

Cons: this is the worst antivirus software install I have ever had on a computer. it messed the system up to the point I had to reformat and reinstall windows7. I will not use the full version of AVG ever again.

3 out of 5 eggsconfused as to offer

Pros: Seems like good protection, but I was sent just the CD sleeve with a cd and it looks like no activation number?

Cons: no activation number and/or confusing process, I only received a sleeve with an disc for 2012 version of the product and I paid 29.99 for a system builder version, what gives?

1 out of 5 eggsJunk

Pros: None in mho.

Cons: Lets way too much in, then struggles to remove it.

Other Thoughts: I have been cleaning scumware for over 15 years now. Most of the infected computers I work on have this installed; follow closely by mcafee and norton.

If you want a decent free av then follow Eric's advice and go with Microsoft Security Essentials. It works pretty well for being a Microsoft product.

The best is still Nod32 (eset). Kaspersky works well, but I have some real concerns about the location of the company and it's collection of personal info. Just a concern some of us have, nothing proven.

Do your research folks...search the names and see what you get.

1 out of 5 eggsdon't waste your money

Pros: sounds better then it really is

Cons: AVG charges for everything-they don't know what technical support or customer service really means-avg has been known to have common virus effect it users-avg is also known for bugs-this is no better then their free version-avg is one of the worst av on the market today

Other Thoughts: look into microsoft sercuity esstentials-its is free and much better then any avg product

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Price Great Product

Pros: Fast, cheap and reliable AV software.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: To the reviewers who say it installs too much junk or widgets, you do realize there is a custom install option that you can uncheck the toolbar, widget, pc tools etc. Please don't complain, because you don't know.

1 out of 5 eggsshipping fail

Pros: shipment arrived

Cons: I have enjoyed exceptional shipping from NewEgg for many years. Neweggs latest shipping methods seem to go out of their way to slow things up. Taking it to the mailbox would be faster, I'd say twice as fast.

5 out of 5 eggsCame with Office 2010 as a promo

Pros: Full featured AVG Anti-Virus 2012, not the free basic edition. Less system resources used that Norton or McAfee. I didn't pay anything for it so that was awesome.

Cons: Only gives you 1 year of protection, and then its time to fork over more cash just to protect your PC. Does not activate an airstrike on the person that infected your computer to begin with...that would be really great!

Other Thoughts: After my year of service, this will be uninstalled and replaced with the AVG Free Ed. as with all my systems. I really like AVG for that feature, because I think that basic AV protection should be FREE since it is only a necessity these days with all of the frustrated virii programmers out there.
