AVG is very famous for its free Antivirus software. Why would somebody want to pay for its anti-virus software? The answer is simple: you get what you pay for. The AVG anti-virus free version offers protection while surfing the internet or social networking. It compares potential threats against its database of known threats and keeps your computer safe from infections. It does NOT scan files as they are being downloaded to your computer, NOR does it offer firewall protection or scan your email for spam and suspicious links, which are all essential if you ever share files, shop or bank online. This version of AVG anti-virus software is supplied in a 2GB USB memory stick instead of a CD, and you also have the option to download the very latest version from official AVG website. After you installed it on your computer, you need to register it with the supplied sales number & activate it. Since not all threats are known viruses, AVG antivirus software automatically updates its database on a regular basis which also features an opt-in function where users can share data on new infections as they occur. This zero-day availability allows the software to address new threats as they are introduced. It then adds those definitions to the database and updates all active subscriptions. You can indeed use the 2GB USB Memory Stick for general data storage or file transfer too.

Pathetic
Comes with a tatty piece of (so called instructions) paper, that is almost indecipherable and looks like it was typed on a 1950's typewriter!!Awful product, avoid!!!

Does not work - AVG say they help but do not reply to emails - installed, says no threats, instant malware/adware, especially after using the AVG app - a total waste of money, no customer support

... and got AVG by recommendation from two people with better user knowledge than me
I am no expert and got AVG by recommendation from two people with better user knowledge than me.Easy to install and it appears to work more discretely than other well known products I have had installed on computers before.

Is it authentic?
Seems to be fine although after having installed it I got a review request from AVG to review AVG Free.
