Grisoft AVG Free Edition 7.1 Review
- None of the three free antivirus products tested for the "The New Virus Fighters" ranked highly, but Grisoft's AVG Antivirus Free Edition holds the distinct honor of having placed last among all ten paid and free contenders due to a clunky interface, the omission of significant features, and below-average performance.

Strengths: It's Free. I also get updates daily. I'm thinking of trying the paid version.
Weaknesses: Most of the features are in the paid version, but what do want for free!
Overall Evaluation: My ISP gave me McAfee which constantly shut down its firewall, so I removed it or least tried. It is almost impossible to completely remove McAfee. I also bought a new laptop with Norton installed which shut off windows security and is hard to uninstall. AVG free may not be the prettiest Anti-Virus out there but I've had bad experiences with the two big ones. If I decide to go with a suite I know that I will pass on both Norton and McAfee from having used both of them in the past. BTW I've tried to get rid of both of the big two and replace them with freeware.
