If you’re a Windows user, chances are you also run an antivirus software from startup. Windows is, after all, known for its security vulnerabilities, particularly in terms of malware.
One of our favorite virus scanners is AVG. Not only is it free, but it also has various features that make it better than many others out there.
First, it’s a small download. You don’t have to wait hours just for the installation file to finish. It’s also very quick to install. You don’t have to wait 30 minutes before installation is thru. It just takes a couple of minutes. Then, it’s not as bloated as other antivirus software. AVG’s software footprint is just about 20 Megs in your RAM. You also get daily updates and daily scheduled scans.
Not bad for a free product!
Best thing I like about AVG is that it is pretty fast. It’s not a resource hog and it doens’t take forever to load to memory everytime I start up the PC.
