Consider this a Coupon code for your AVG antivirus discount special for may 2016.

I have Installed AVG free previously , because it’s what I have trusted and recommended to friends for years as a solid free anti-virus to have in the background in addition to Malwarebytes every few days. By default it installs zen and PC tuneup. I Don’t think much of it because I don’t use extensive features of the program, but its okay if those features are of use to you.

I have also written about a comparison of different Antivirus software over here , if you want a detailed price comparison of Online protection software.

AVG offers manual and scheduled AV scans, Link Scanner to check against browsing to dodgy sites, identity protection – checking for apps stealing personal details – and an email scanner looking for damaging attachments.

With dozens of ways to customize it, AVG AntiVirus Free is for security-minded cheapskates who want to tune and adjust the program’s protection and performance.AVG Free is available for PC, Mac and Android, so this management app can be a useful tool.

Antivirus Protection

Both AVG AntiVirus Free’s active scanner and Resident Shield real-time scanner, which always runs in the background, match suspect software against a constantly updated database of malware signatures.

AVG Technologies began in 1991 and is now one of the biggest players in the antivirus software market with corporate offices in Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States.

OUR VERDICT

AVG continues to be one of the best free antivirus programs you can download. It offers a good selection of key protections, though you do have to be careful to install the right product.
