AVG antivirus- How good is the free AVG antivirus download?

AVG antivirus- Aha, the promise of a free antivirus software. We wish the AVG antivirus software was GPL, in addition to offering a free download.

But,hey,one cannot wish for the moon, when nothing is life is free-least of all,a good antivirus software

Unfortunately, AVG antivirus is not anything to write home about. AVG antivirus just about makes the grade when it comes to antivirus software- the AVG antivirus software is buggy and not really great. The only good point about AVG antivirus and its a cynical point - AVG antivirus's competitors such as Symantec and McAfee antivirus are not any better.

On a homorous note, if you feel safer having to pay for bad antivirus software- buy Symantec or McAfee antivirus- If you are comfortable with a free antivirus software that is equally bad, download AVG antivirus software.

I would really agree with this hypothesis that antivirus software companies probably create the computer viruses in the first place.. It makes perfect economic sense for antivirus software companies to create viruses in the first place
