AVG Anti-Virus Free Software For Your Computer
By Dirk C Wallace
Who does not like getting something useful for free? But the
keyword there is "useful." You can get all the free
software programs in the world but if you cannot use them or they
do not protect your computer, then you have wasted your time and
possibly put your computer at risk.
AVG Anti-Virus Free is definitely a free program you can install
on your computer but you really are getting nothing-for-nothing
with this software program. This should make you think twice and
review your options about what you readily install that is marketed
as free.
Three Programs For Free
Free is not always good but sometimes it can be. Yes, that is
a bit confusing but continue reading. With AVG Anti-Virus Free
you pay nothing. And you really do get something instead of a
useless program that you will not use.
You get the Anti-Virus program and also the Anti-Spyware program.
As a bonus you get LinkScanner, which monitors websites to assess
their harm. That’s three programs for nothing.
Paid Versions With More Features Are Available
If your needs are simple and you just need to protect one computer
then the free antivirus software from AVG is worth checking into.
But if you have multiple computers and you really want antivirus
software protection that you know is going to protect your computer
and not require constant renewing or downloading...you may want
to go with another antivirus software program. AVG does have other
antivirus programs you can check into but they are a bit expensive.
Paid Protection Is Rather Expensive
The AVG Anti-Virus 9.0 is $799.00 but it does not block spam,
does not come with a built in firewall and it does not offer identity
protection.
If you want all of that you are going to have to pay a bit more
for the AVG Internet Security 9.0 which comes in at a whopping
$1,299.00 but it does offer every type of protection you can imagine.
You can protect more than one computer which is pretty nice. The
price is not so nice though.
A Rare Free AntiVirus Program
AVG Anti-Virus Free is definitely one of those rare free antivirus
programs where you get the protection you need. That is saying
a lot because many free programs are very limited in what they
will cover.
This one means you get protection, you get coverage and you do
not have to pay a single penny. The only cost will be the time
it takes for you to download and install the program. That is
about as good as you can get for free.

How much do you know about anti-virus software? Do you know that
it can monitor websites to assess for threat levels? Did you know
that some come with spam-filters that can weed out the junk mail?
Some even come with firewall protection to keep anyone from gaining
access to your computer. They do far more than prevent viruses,
worms and Trojans. They can offer you 360 degree protection from
anything that may harm your computer or steal important personal
information. They are absolutely essential.
