#FREE DOWN AVG ANTIVIRUS INSTALL#

If you like AVG’s performance and would like to continue using it or upgrade to the PRO version, you will have to pay.Ĭlosely related to the above con is this version’s limitation regarding users who can install and enjoy the 6-month trial period. In this case, the usage period is capped at 6 months. Having said so, I noted I was to smoothly continue with HD video streaming on Vimeo as I was downloading a couple of big files without noticing any sluggish performance.Īway from the actual performance of this piece of security, it is worth noting that you will only use it for a limited period. One of my main concerns when installing an anti-virus is the impact it will have on my system’s performance.

Although the software presents a rather intuitive UI, the installation process took notably long than I expected. Here is my experience while using the 2016 edition of AVG Internet Security.įrom the get go, I already had mixed reactions when downloading and installing this security software package. Right off the bat, its features list ticked on almost all the core aspects that a security tool should deliver. In my case, I had come across a lot of talk regarding AVG Internet Security and decided to give it a try. It is a shame that there is no ability to rate this ZERO stars.Īs anti-virus programs continue to mushroom regularly, choosing the best will depend on what you need.

These so called intuitive and user friendly programs are a pox to those of us who actually know how to build, maintain and run computers. I yearn for the days when one could control every function and program on one’s machine.

I lost count of the times that my system locked up from lack of memory resources because the AVG program decided that the best time to download and run a virus check was when I had multiple windows and programs already running. It is now a bloated piece of software that takes complete control of the computer it is install on and hogs all of the memory resources at the most inappropriate of times. AVG was great at catching most malware and email attachments and overall was a decent product.

The user had complete control over when the new virus definitions were downloaded and updated. I first tried AVG in the early 2000s and it was a great product. Perhaps that is why they are offering this free license. It will take some effort from AVG/Avast to earn back my trust, and the trust of many other former customers.

However, I have lost trust in the company, so I uninstalled their product recently. Overall, this AV tool seems good enough for someone with a fairly modern computer (which can handle the load). You certainly need to get regular updates, but sometimes it is nice to just disable it, and do the updates manually when you can spare the system resources. Something I do appreciate is that it allows the user to disable automatic updates. It also tried to push its browser addon on you, which was (at least until recently) farming user activity behavior and selling it. The firewall is not useful to me, since it gives very few configuration options to the user. However, as others have noted, it can be a resource hog.

This shows questionable ethics.Īs far as user experience, this seems like a “ok” tool. They shut it down only after it was discovered independently and public outcry required it. AVG/Avast recently got in hot water for selling user data to advertisers through the company they bought, Jumpshot.
