AVG antivirus 8.0.175- a free down load

I have installed Nortan antivirus in my system but I haven't renewed last year .Hence, every time login to my Vista operated Laptop it would high light as a security threat.On this aspect we need to appreciate Vista because of it security features.

Hence, I was looking for some options then I come across the AVG antivirus software.It fairly does its job and it covers the basic security features.

As noted the interface of AVG Free has been improved and it is easier to see what protection AVG is providing and what needs attention via icons in the main part of the screen. Tabs along the left hand side give quick access to important information on updates and ongoing scans.

In addition to traditional antivirus protection, AVG Free now offers protection from Spyware without installing extra software.

An extra feature added with AVG 8 is the LinkScanner. Also available as a standalone download, LinkScanner works with Internet Explorer and Firefox to check links found in Google, Yahoo and MSN searches to make sure that there is no risk to clicking on the links. There is a slight delay as the pages are checked but it is worth the short wait in exchange for avoiding malicious (or hacked) sites.

Limitations:

• Only a base level protection but doesn't protect the system from key loggers,spam phishing  and malicious file down loads.
• Doesn't scan the network drives and any connected server operating system
• While updates any free version of AVG will be given less priority in support.
