AVG Anti Virus 2012 2 PC, 2 Year Licence (PC)

AVG is one of and in my opinion, the best Internet Protection Security systems you can get.

Having already been a fan of the easy to use interface of their anti virus software free edition, the investment in this product seemed the right thing to do since it provided more coverage than the free anti virus one. You don't realise how much you need the Virus software to protect against all those viruses that are all over the web and email.

It has a really good protection against, what I consider to be one of the worst viruses; the trojan. Which can even come in the form of programs pretending to be anti virus software! Its incredible and quite sad that there are people out there maliciously trying to hack and ruin peoples computers and systems for the fun of it and this is why you need to be protected. This version of Anti Virus is even better than before, providing even more protection and scanning and even better is that you are protected when sharing on social networking sites such as Facebook so that you are not unintentionally sharing or being open to malicious content by the new 'Resident Shield'.

Pair with the Internet Security 2012 as well for extra coverage :)

Tip: Register yourself with your temp licence number/sales number that you get inside the pack first to save time and that way you have your full licence number before installation as I didn't do this until last and it just confused everything! Confusion aside its pretty simple to install.

It's award winning protection and considering the protection is for 2 whole years and for 2 pc's or laptops, it really is a small price.

Invest and you will notice the difference :)

AVG 2012 Anti-virus is a quality product for protecting your PC from start to finish. AVG runs silently in your system tray for the most part but has a decent schedule to scan your PC regularly, whilst keeping its own virus database up to date, defragmenting your PC, protecting from malware and even root kits - any one of which you can start at your request and watch the results. At first AVG will find a few problems on your PC, I generally think I keep my system pretty spic & span - C-Cleaning and defragging on a regular basis but AVG finds some of even the most obscure sources of system slow-downs. Once you're done with the initial spring-cleaning you'll feel pretty secure although this package DOES NOT come with a firewall. For people who need/want a firewall, I recommend AVG Internet Security 2012 which is essentially exactly the same as this product - but with a firewall.

A little about the installation: This lovely-slim jewel-case arrived with the CD and licences all ready to go, although after inserting it into my CD drive, AVG promptly informed me that my free version was already more advanced, directing me to their download site. The 149mb install file download is ridiculously well supported, I was registering download rates of around 4.5mb/s, which if you're not fluent in bandwidth talk, is face-meltingly fast. Anyhow, the install went silkily smooth until the licence number came up. The one enclosed in the pack was to a 30-day trial version and I had to register my email address with the good-ol' folks at AVG. Minutes later, an email arrived with the full 24-month licence number and it activated and registered the product without a hitch. My issue here is; I didn't use the CD in the case to install it and my licence number was a trial, leading onto a 24 month licence...so what was the point in sending the physical product to begin with?? Surely they could have just saved the earth a little and just sent an email?

A truly great product that I would recommend to anyone, despite the insane licence number system, but remember you only have to go through it once to enjoy 24 months of great PC performance and security! But in my humble opinion, seeing the insignifcant difference in price, I don't know why you wouldn't just fork out the difference to get the entire suite of AVG protection.

I'd heard much about AVG and after the price of renewing my NORTON software rose considerably, I decided to give them a go. It did get off to a great start as the CD wouldn't run on my Windows 7 laptop and I had to go to the AVG site to download the software and then use the product key that came with the CD. The software works ok but (so far) AVG doesn't appear to be as good as NORTON. The jury is still out and time can only tell if my money saving exercise proves to be a bit of a false economy.
