I don't know about you, but I bought my PC so I could use it, not so that I could spend all my money and all it's resources protecting it. Don't get me wrong. McAfee and Symantec are great (minor over-statement), but they are expensive up front and to maintain. And that's not all. All their bells and whistles take up valuable system resources. Oh, it just hit me. Maybe that's there game. Don't let the user's do anything and they won't get into any trouble.
Well there is an alternative. AVG Free Edition is the perfect anti-virus. It is robust enough to thoroughly protect your system yet small and simple enough not to depleat that which is most precious, memory and disk space. It offer's the full system scan feature, a scheduler for updates and scanning, a resident sheild, and a shell extention for scanning individual files. It even has an email scanner so chain letters beware.
I personally have been using AVG Free for at least four years. I have very little problems with my PCs, virus wise, and when I do AVG takes care of it. That's not all. My entire family looks towards me to fix and maintain their PCs when the worst happens. When ever I do I install AVG and configure it to update and scan nightly. Let's just say I don't get that many calls anymore.
There is one down fall. It does take up a lot of system resources while performing a scan. But like I said, I schedule that for the nights when I'm asleep (and if I'm not asleep and happen to be on my PC I just skip that night). And it's FREE, so quit you whining.
