A free Anti Virus Guard for your computer or laptop
I have used AVG for a few years now. I have downloaded the newest AVG as they come out.
Basics
The AVG Free Edition is freeware for your computer that makes it safe from all the basic internet viruses e.g. Trojan. The AVG Free Edition is provided free-of-charge, and its functionality is limited. All functions provided within the AVG Free Edition respond to the AVG Professional Basic Interface level.
AVG Free Edition working environment When you first open AVG, you will see the AVG Test Center allowing you to run tests, update your AVG and edit some basic configurations. The AVG Control Center launches automatically upon Windows startup, and you can see its icon in the system tray - double-click the icon to open the interface.
Updates
You can update your free AVG everyday to get the latest updates for you to keep your computer safe from the latest virus. When you turn on your computer the update will start straight away and then go off.
Problems
If the icon in the system tray at the bottom right of your screen is not in colour you have got a problem and shouldn't access the internet because you will not be fully protected and maybe at risk from viruses. To fix this you might need to do another update or change the time on the AVG as it might of been changed.

My View
I think AVG Free edition is one of the best free anti virus guards out and even better than some of the ones you have to purchase. I have never really had any major problems with AVG or with my computer with any viruses. I really recommend if you haven't got AVG then you download it FREE and also download Spyware Doctor. With these two you can not go wrong. They are both free and very good, before when I had Norton Anti Virus installed my computer was running really slow and that was because it wasn't working very well so I uninstalled it and installed AVG Free edition.
Thanks for reading,
