AVG Anti-Virus System Review

Ok, as I speak to you my secondary computer is filled with virus', but I expect it to be fixed from AVG Anti-Virus System.

This program is free to most people unless you want true all around addware spyware blocking, you have to buy it. The program itself is extremely simple to use all you have to do is click computer scan and there you go you've got it going, now unlike most free download spyware and addware blocking programs this one isn't one that's actually going to GIVE you the virus you were trying to get rid of infact I use this more than Windows Defender to get rid of multiple virus'.  Although my version is free, it still is completely fast and powerful.

It's Scanning is phenomenal, it doesnt scan just folders or areas (although you have to choice to do that), it scans every single file in all areas, no matter how small or how large. They find the files with under-protection scripts, with I beleive it's own C++ programming. If the other programs such as Norton or the free trial of Windows Defender you will be forced to only scan areas at a time. Also AVG has the ability to speed up to go through the coding and only scan areas that stick out, you can choose moderate for coding or encrypting that stands out and looks for files that are infected (usually cookies), and the last is slow so it can search through the entire code incase there is something you need to hide from the search so the program doesn't delete it thinking it's an infected code.

There are some flaws such as the length of scans. The scans are truly very slow as compared to Norton Anti-Virus and Windows Defender. The moderate scan is approx. 20 mins. for 80,000 files, where as Windows Defender does about 75,000 in 10 minutes. Another one, and this is refering to the free version of the program, is the lack of ability to delete critical level infections such as Trogan programs that try to hack through your "back door".

Overview:
This program is amazing for a free adware spyware blocker as compared to most which look like they work but end up giving you the virus' you were trying to get rid of. The scan ability is strong enough to read all files specifically but takes forever for it to finish even on the fastest speed as compared to Norton Anti-Virus and Windows Defender. It also lacks the ability to delete critical file infections.

Final Verdict:
Great program on it's on, but far better, far faster and far stronger, with pay for programs such as Norton and free programs from Microsoft such as Windows Defender. I highly reccomend this program.
