I have been using the free version of AVG antivirus for about 2 years now and it’s been pretty good. I was using 7.5 and then the free Version 8 of AVG. I am pretty satisfied using AVG but will be willing to change if there is a better and more effective free antivirus program out there. It’s for my personal laptop running XP. I don’t do anything risky online like going to porn sites or anything like that just plain sites many other people go to.
AVG is probably the most popular free antivirus out there right now but that doesn’t mean its the best. There are two free anti-virus programs that I can think of that are considered to be better than AVG. The first on is Avira AntiVir, and the second one is Avast! Home. They both have a better detection rate than AVG, AntiVir has the best of the three with Avast! not far behind.
Just a quick reminder that you should remove the previous anti virus software before installing the new one to avoid conflict.
