AVG Anti-Virus Pro 7.1 [Review]
After a year of using a Norton as my anti-virus, I have shifted to AVG anti-virus pro, not as popular but as capable of doing its job.
They also have a free edition which is one the best free Anti-virus soft-wares around.
So here’s my brief review:
Pros:
- Uses way less system resources as compared to Norton while during a full scan. It was using only about an average of 30% of my CPU.
- Active shield or real time protection, that’s very important for me
- Can do all task done by Norton or others like scheduling, automating tasks etc.
- Longer liscensing period, cheaper and generally simple to use.
- Easy to update virus definitions that are constantly renewed
Cons:
- Improvements definitely need to be made interface, needs to look WAY more sleek.
- Sometimes a bit complicated to understand what you need to do for a task.
- Not a popular name, doesn’t appear in my Zone Alarm anti-virus monitioring.
Well, In conclusion, Good-bye Norton, not that it was bad, I just wanted something that was light on resources and so I got AVG.
