Even when I'm able to install it, it's now a dog of a program to use.Īlso, yuh really have to wonder what the hell's going on at AVG when the installer repeatedly crashes across multiple machines. I used to recommend AVG to clients but no longer. If AVG cannot even get the program's installer to work without error messages then it says precious little for the product as a whole! Fileforum, why this change, won't AVG let you have the real thing?

Moreover, I'm not going to bother trying this version, as it and earlier versions are not the full package but just downloaders. Also, from other internet reports, it seems that I'm not alone in having AVG's install fail. Even a clean Windows 7 installation breaks these versions of AVG (although earlier versions from last year will still install). Simply WILL NOT install on my Win 7 64-bit, machines. The full downloads/off-line installation files such as: and I guarantee, you will be free of problems. I recommend all those who have faced similar issues to use a cloud based AV, with Comodo FW (which has some AV features) with a back up scanner such as Malwarebytes, and a browser protection software - Malwarebytes Antiexploit. I suppose a cloud based AV loads a lot less stuff on your PC, and therefore is lighter and less prone to causing problems of incompatibility and the like. Daily updates AVG recognizes that new malware pops up on the internet daily, so it not only blocks new threats when they attack it also sends them to the AVG online lab for analysis. System requirements (recommended for optimal work): Intel Pentium 4 / AMD Athlon 64 processor or above (must support SSE2 instructions), 1GB RAM, 2GB free disk space, Windows 7/8/10, 1024x768 pixels or above screen resolution, Internet connection. AVG AntiVirus Free holds its own against pricier antivirus software in independent testing, but Mac users bewareAVG AntiVirus is clearly designed for the PC crowd. Although it is just a few days old, I faced no such issues. AVG Antivirus Free, which is really free, yes and AVG Antivirus Internet Security - with 40 annual subscription.


I have now decided I had enough of this overly aggressive junk, and installed Panda cloud AV. I then switched to Avira, and found it turned ON the Windows firewall, although I had Comodo FW installed, and then the frequent freezing and crashing of the OS, disabling of my touchpad etc. This one would cause freezing of my OS (Win8 on a Dell Inspiron 3537), each time there was a major AV update. I have realized now that these vendors are in overdrive mode, cramming more aggressive features that mess up with the OS and other security software.
