AVG is good. Not the best. Avira and Avast has better reviews. I use Avira Free, it works well.

I wont say AVG is good but its decent. You can use it, no problem, but if you want something secure, go check out paid versions of different AV's available.

It is wise to use a free antivirus. Reporting of new threats is better. After Google, free means best.

It is good. I have Avast in my Windows 7 and Avira in XP. I prefer Avira, But Avast has more features like webguard and network shield which Avira lacks.

I am not arguing, I have scarcely formatted my system after I switch to Avira. I use it with Adaware Anniversary edition and Zone alarm free.

I wouldn't recommend AVG coz of its falling standards, somtime back, it even started flagging System files as viruses. and that month, it had 3 diffirent problems.

Just check it out, I know the official sites give direct downloads. Here, we have an array of optional software to choose from. all under one roof/website.
