Avg Free Antivirus ???????

Answer 1

"For a free app, it's excellent."

got to love this answer

AVG is good

Answer 2

it updates every 24 hours

it tells you if you have a virus on computer

it warns you if a site contains spyware/viruses etc.

and if you do have a virus on your pc then it will destroy it

Answer 3

You should forget AVG 8 free edition it has a nice interface but is poor at blocking viruses so not worth using.

I've tested both Avast Home Edition (free) and AVG 8.0 (free), AVG let me save 75% of the test viruses to my hard drive only blocking 25% were as Avast blocked 75% of viruses, Avast picked up the other 25% of the viruses that were in zip files the second I tried to extract them.

I use Avast combined with Comodo Pro on my XP home computer and have no problems with virus's or spyware.
