thanks @Malware Security for your review on AVG! its true that the product had a bad rep in the future , being not more than average. it relied on signatures heavilly , but they are definately working hard to get a stable allround security product. I will pass this on in our AVG Hall Of Famer group

I knew AVG is better then most people say. They are getting better and better, if we look at detection, removal and false positive I thing AVG is the best you can get (as freeware).

i use mainly avg free i prefer comodo firewall over avgs firewall

that google url shortner one you could of copied the link to the scource

AVG has always put in a solid performance in tests which I feel has been largely overlooked and ignored, imo.

Using the free version at the moment with Private Firewall and Sandboxie.

Good review bye the way.

great review, avg is definitely very good despite all hateful comment about it
and as a AVG IS 2015 user myself, i'd say to everyone, never underestimate its capabilities

yes AVG is performing well these days , but still is a tad behind AVAST. its a shame that AVG is is still lacking a sandbox and the zeroday component Identity Protection could be a lot better. I know AVG is doing there best tp devellop their engine wich each rerlease and virtualisation and sandbox technologies are being talked over by the devellopment team ( as one of my trusted inside sources whispered into my ear ) the main focus though will be optimizing the performance and creating a stable product , becuase AVG is still buggy some times.

AVG still has many processes, how many?

I count 7 on AVG free but all very light.

Just run it with Comodo firewall or Sandboxie.

Sorry my bad, I mean`t the free version as I recently tried it out on a test machine and found it performing very well ,hence i`m running it on my own rig with Private firewall.

How are you finding the on-line shield and firewall ?

NVT ex radar pro is an excellent choice for dealing with any zero nasties(or anything else for that matter). Great app.

online shield has its good and bad days , so not perfect the firewall is a one way firewall so thats why I compliment it with nvt exe pro. and yes it is a great program! I am a long time user of AVG and since being a hall of famer I get every license , for every product free , whenever I need. tried every security solution , but keep coming back to AVG

I suppose everything has it`s good days and bad days especially users.Yeah AVG was one of my first AV`s many years ago and it`s results have been very steady in testing over the years.It was always one to keep an eye on.

Glad to hear that you are getting some perks as a hall of famer....good stuff.

For me its not the capability, but the stability... AVG is rough... and seems to gotten better but still needs work.

I do like the whole setup it has, easy to configure, and likeable UI, scanner, protection etc. Where I get dissapointment is the boot up time is the SLOWEST of all AV I tried (10 more seconds) from the 2nd slowest, Panda. Now Panda was kinda pokey but AVG was its own OS!

AVG has highest RAM usage (free version) along with Forticlient but... AVG really should be lighter without its firewall on. It doesn't slow system, but at the expense of the memory use.

Now my two favorite free ones,
Comodo and Avast have the fastest boot times I have tried. Avast being even lighter overall as Comodo uses less memory but more system resources, Avast balances it perfectly.

I cannot say for Qihoo because I never tried it soooo... but I hear its the lightest on system, or so the AV test page says.

 

[Maybe]

The first 2 or 3 reboots with AVG will be slow, after that it will boot much quicker.
