Again a great and complete review, I like the way you organize your reviews. Great review about AVG, I personally use this antivirus one year ago and really didn't like, I think that eventually becomes heavier on PCs. Thanks for the review

I love the "Synthetic Test". the way you make it in 3 parts.
AVG is a good product, I love the ID Protect and how it removes active malware. What I don't like are the ads and alerts (are so annoying, way too many).

AVG surprise me in a good way (because I always here only bad things) and i never used and tested properly before.
I don't see any ads accept on interface...

...and alerts can be turn off.

Great to see AVG still performing well after all these years(and still free).

Don`t think it would make your machine idiot proof(i.e. teenager proof) but maybe if you teamed it up with CFW(tweeked to the max) you`d come darn close ?

Thanks for the detailed review AG.
