AVG 2013 Released (now with free support even for free version)

Too bad to hear about that. Still gonna keep this though unless I encounter a really annoying bug or feature. Performance wise, it's pretty light your PC finishes booting up.

Compared to 2012, I somehow felt a bit of a slowdown on VM. So I installed it on a spare system and it is a bit noticable the system response time. Any users experiencing this?

Specs of the system: AMD dual core 2ghz, 3GB Ram Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit.

Not sure why you noticed slow down

After installing AVG i did a full scan and a restart and only noticeable slowdown was a few more seconds at system boot no slowdowns after that everything seems fast even the second full scan was 75% faster than first scan (it could be since i enabled AVG personalization) Even doesnt slow down my Games which is the best part

i did not notice any system crash or restart while testing AVG with malware removal seems ok detection also seems good since they have integrated cloud capabilities the only thing i hate is the fact that it uses 6 processes but this can be ignored since combined ram usage is less than 30mb

Just completed the test for the video which hopefully will be uploaded today.

The crashes I got on the real system were from watchdog chucking 90% CPU.

For you guys that are being annoyed by the notifications at the bottom, just rename bnfree.mht to something like bnfree.bak. Its' located on the programs folder of AVG. Make sure to disable AVG first before doing this.

Notifications or do you mean the upgrade advertisements at the bottom if the main GUI?

The upgrade ads at the bottom. It's really annoying so I searched for ways on how to shut it up for good.

The adds hack was on old one. But AVG's are tolerable but the Avira's past adds were intolerable.

 

[moonshine]

Does Avira still have that annoying ad during update?

The issue with Avira is also that it won't work on 64bit (the workaround I mean).

Last time I checked Avira Free it was still present.
