Version: AVG Anti-Virus 8.0.87
"Good But With False Positives."
Pros: The interface was nice. It works averagely good.
Cons: Agreed with some people here, I finally realised that the new versions of AVG aren't any good. But about system resources, it's not a problem to me. The new version of AVG has a lot of false positives which the previous version doesn't. I don't think AVG 8.0 is an ideal antivirus for you to rely on, but perhaps the free version is okay for you to use.

Version: AVG Anti-Virus 8.0.87
"Disappointed with the latest version..."
Pros: To be perfectly frank there are a number of Antivirus solutions that are at least as good and in some peoples views better tahn AVG including Esset Nod 32, Avast and Avira to name but a few...
Cons: 1.) I find that it is heavy on resources on my computer compared to version 7 which I liked very much.
2.) I have and had a few compatability issues with version 8 and different programs on my computer which are currently not resolved. I found version 7 to be more stable.
3.) I have found that AVG support is a lot slower to respond to emails re my problems then they were in the past. For that reason I won't be renewing my contract when it expires later this year.

Version: AVG Anti-Virus 8.0.87
Pros: AVG provides adequate protection for most internet users with a clean, simple interface that has the necessary features and frequent updates. While no anti-virus product protects against user stupidity, a reasonable amount of common sense combined with this product, even the free version, will suffice for your computer anti-virus needs.
Cons: The email scanner requires a bit of computer knowledge to properly install, which may be a bit of a disadvantage to the less than tech savvy crowd.
