AVG Anti-Virus: AVG Anti-Virus protects your computer from all those infectious bugs (viruses) that inhabit cyber space trying to multiply themselves through unprotected computers. AVG Free is their basic anti-virus and is very easy to install and operate. Once installed you can run an initial system scan and then set up a schedule for automatic scans. The program updates itself automatically on a daily basis ensuring that you have the lastest protection updates. This program will run in the background and provide realtime protection. I switched from Norton to AVG a few years back and recommend it to everyone I can. Not only is the price right, but it caught viruses that my Norton didn’t!!!

AVG also has free Anti-Spyware and Anti-Rootkit programs along with paid versions of all their internet security programs. Personally, I have never found the need for the paid versions, the free ones do the job for me!
