AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 2011

AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 2011 is a bit like the security guard at the shopping mall . . . watching your every move to keep you safe and sound from harm . . . for nothing! Yes, no wonder the AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 2011 is the top freeware anti-virus download with more than 375 million downloads, yes, that’s more than 375 million computers all being protected for free . . . it costs zilch, nada, nought, nothing, zero (well, that’s the idea of freeware isn’t it).

You might be excused for thinking that freeware doesn’t do quite as good a job as the fancy software you have to pay your hard earned cash for, and to be honest, AVG did begin to flag a little a while ago (well, those nasty viruses and bugs do take some keeping up with you know), but this edition is definitely better . . . it’s shorter to install, has much better usability and scans faster than ever.

If you’re looking for an excellent level of security for your computer, without having to pay for the privilege, then you really ought to follow the 375 million users who have already taken the plunge.
