AVG Free 8.0

About a week ago I downloaded the new AVG Free from http://free.grisoft.com/

So now AVG Free Anti-Virus does not only detect and remove viruses now but it also does spyware so there is no need for AVG Anti-Spyware because AVG free does both.The new UI is so much smoother and easy to get round it its so nice and AVG has a new icon that is much newer and fresher.On the main screen there is only 3 options which reduces the mess of the old AVG. Now as for detection rate I have tested it on a safe computer packed with 1000 diffrent viruses and it detected and removed 966 of them which is better than the old AVG free and as for Spyware detection it gets the programs great and help you remove them.

 So over all the new AVG is much better than the old one and is worth while getting if you have no money for anti-virus/spyware software.

One Comment

I’ve been a long time user of AVG but since upgrading to 8.0 it has slowed down my system bad (Pentium M 1.86Ghz, 2Gb RAM on WinXP SP3). Especially web browsing with multiple browser windows open.

I’ve now moved to Avast! 4.8 and it works a treat. It’s more customisable than AVG and it doesn’t seem to slow down my system at all.

What Do You Think?
