About AVG Anti-Virus

AVG Anti Virus is available free-of-charge to home users! AVG Anti Virus is for private, non-commercial, single home computer use only. AVG Anti Virus is compatible with all major operating systems, including Me/98/2000 and higher.

Ideally, you should prevent computer viruses from intruding into your computer. Today, the most common sources of virus infection include e-mail, virus propagation through shared disks in computer networks, and websites with potentially dangerous content. Other methods of transmission (on floppy or CD ROM disks) no longer occur as frequently as they once did, but cannot be ignored. As to prevention, the most important aspect is to protect your e-mail client! Just as important is use of the AVG Resident Shield (on-access scanner) function that scans your files in the background as you open, run and save them.

There is also the potential risk that a computer virus has been transmitted to your computer prior to AVG Anti-Virus installation, or that you have neglected to keep your AVG Anti-Virus program upto-date with the virus database updates. For this reason, AVG Anti-Virus allows you to check your computer for viruses using one of various available tests. You can use the pre-defined tests, or you can create your own user-defined tests and specify your own special settings. You can launch the tests manually or you can schedule them to run automatically.
