AVG Anti-Virus 7.1 Professional Single Edition's biggest asset is its low profile. AVG 7.1 had a minimal impact on our boot times: 61 seconds compared to 84 seconds from F-Secure. However, with our test system, we did encounter a slight, 1- to 2-second drag while AVG scanned files being loaded into Microsoft Word. When testing, we found AVG wasn't the fastest scanner around, requiring 290 minutes to scan our 74GB hard drive, while PC-cillin Internet Security 2006, the fastest virus buster we've tested, scanned the same partition in just 181 minutes. Read the CNET Labs' test results page to find out how AVG Anti-Virus 7.1's overall performance compares with that of other antivirus apps.
You get support for AVG Anti-Virus 7.1 if you purchase the Professional Single Edition. You can even initiate technical support e-mail from within the program itself; this option is unavailable in the free edition. There are searchable FAQs online, with dozens of useful questions and answers on most topics; however, there is no telephone technical support available, even for the paid version.
