destructionfever Posted August 9, 2005 CID Share Posted August 9, 2005 Hey all, just downloaded AVG because mcafee was giving me troubles. Is AVG antivirus free edition a good choice. Where does it rank among most antivirus programs out there? Thanks all.

php Posted August 9, 2005 CID Share Posted August 9, 2005 AVG is pretty good... personally I prefer Avast though. Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/6721-is-avg-free-edition-a-good-choice-for-antivirus/#findComment-68971 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted August 9, 2005 CID Share Posted August 9, 2005 I use it on every syetem that I "clean" up because the dumb dumb forgot to install antivirus.. I think it is fairly easy to learn and doesnt require tons of computer knowledge to operate it.. I might have to go and check out this other program..

monsnet2k8 Posted August 9, 2005 CID Share Posted August 9, 2005 Iuse the AVG free edtion ts ok if you don't want to spend money..... but when you think you are protected either by AVG PRO, Avas tPro, NAV, McAfee guess again' NO! so far the best one for me has been KAV PRO 5.0 if can't buy it download it or download the BETA version.

Swimmer Posted August 9, 2005 CID Share Posted August 9, 2005 Shall we test this? I have a server that I can use.. I have AVG on there right now.. i will place it on the dmz and take the firewall off.. then it should pick up some stuff pretty fast..

cholla Posted August 9, 2005 CID Share Posted August 9, 2005 I have AVG free & I'm satisfied with it .I have tested virus free for months.If you want to check with Kaspersky you can DL the online scanner below & run the scan.It didn't find any virus in my OS so I guess AVG has been keeping them out of my OS. Kaspersky Anti-Virus Web Scanner Beta version 5.0.50.0 Link to install the online scanner http://www.kaspersky.com/beta?product=161744315 Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/6721-is-avg-free-edition-a-good-choice-for-antivirus/#findComment-69014 Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsnet2k8 Posted August 9, 2005 CID Share Posted August 9, 2005 I had it too' for a while then AVG Pro..... but after running scans with AVG and i thought i had a virus free computer' i found 24 infections with KAV that AVG free or Pro didn't pick up.
