Editor's review of AVG Anti-Virus Professional 7.5

5.0 stars
""

Though not as well-known as some competitors, this antivirus program offers rock-solid protection. AVG Anti-Virus Professional provides all the necessities, including a tool for scanning your hard drive and e-mail, as well as a real-time shield to prevent infections. You'll find a full-blown scheduling utility for automating tasks and checking for new definitions as often as you'd like. Other perks found in this Pro version include technical support and the ability to run on multiple operating systems. Should a virus create serious system problems, AVG creates a rescue disk to scan your computer in MS-DOS mode. The program doesn't tax your system when scanning or when running in the background, and it always proved effective in our tests. The interface can't be described as beautiful, yet it is mostly simple to navigate. Though the free version of this program will suffice for average folks, those who demand more control should certainly consider AVG Anti-Virus Professional.

"Strong antivirus program , 100 % satisfied"

by lubricator on November 20, 2006

Pros: This is a very strong anti virus programm
but it will not slow down your computer.
Alreaddy use it for 2 years , downloading many many things , and if there is a virus avg always catch it and then you can put it in quarantaine or delete it.
Never need the rescue disc.
Never had a problem with windows
Virusses in e-mails will be immediate catched.
I am very satisfied with AVG Pro.
Not scared to download anything! Because if there is a virus , AVG Pro will catch it! Many time updating ,so always readdy to protect you against the latest virusses.
Very reliable heavy duty anti virus program
with a minimum load of your cpu and memory.

"Better Than Last Version! And A Very Good Piece of Software!"

by mac-win_user on November 13, 2006

Pros: I love the way that they have upgraded it from the previous version.

It is ever updating which keeps you on top of the game against virus etc...

It is very efficient as it doesnt take long to scan.

It does a thorough scan searching 99% of files! (cant be 100% sure!)

Is a on-going program which allows the prevention of any malicious files getting on to your PC as they get stopped in their tracks.

Overall - Very good and a must download for anyone seeking a free Anti-Virus!

Cons: They should have a few more features in the Free Version.

The User Interface can use a tune-up as it can be a little dull to look at.

"Min load and stress on system, maximum protection"

by JamesWatson on October 10, 2006

Pros: Can't even tell it's there. Doesn't slow anything down. Works like a charm.

Cons: It's just anti-virus, no firewall. So, if you need a firewall (and Window's built-in firewall isn't sufficient) then you're going to need to install another program anyways. Usually they come in a package so you'd better off, in that case, just having your purchased virus/firewall protection (it'll use less resources than AVG and a firewall separately installed).
