AVG Anti-Virus Free is a free anti-virus program for computers running Windows that
offers basic protection against computer threats.
AVG Anti-Virus Free comes equipped with tools for detecting malware and spyware. The program also scans e-mails for possible threats, and LinkScanner checks searched website links for any dangers.

AVG really does want you to try the pro
edition. During installation, you get a choice of proceeding to install AVG
free or starting a 30-day trial of pro. It's a bit tricky; the only way to
proceed with the free edition is to back up a step and select Custom Install.
And of course the ad panel across the bottom exhorts you to upgrade.
Good Lab Results
AVG participates in testing with all of the most-innovative labs that I follow, and does well. It has also appeared in all of the last 12 tests by Virus Bulletin, and received VB100 certification in 11 of those tests.

Of the three testing criteria used by AV-Test Instiute, protection
against malware is the most important. AVG defeated 100 percent of the malware
samples used in this test, earning 6 of 6 possible points. It also took 6
points for usability, meaning it exhibited almost no false positives. The only
thing keeping it from achieving a perfect 18 points the way Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2016 did was a poor showing in the
performance test.
AVG AntiVirus Free (2016) Lab Tests
Chart
In a different performance test by AV-Comparatives, AVG rated
Advanced+, the top rating. It also earned Advanced+ in the dynamic real-world
protection test, and in a test specifically measuring how thoroughly products
remove malware they detect. It would have managed Advanced in both static file
detection tests by this lab, but false positives knocked one score down to
Standard.
The months-long real-world test performed
by Dennis Technology Labs is labor-intensive enough that this
lab only includes about 10 products. Like Kaspersky
Anti-Virus (2016) and Trend
Micro Antivirus+ Security 2016, AVG earned AAA certification, the best
rating.
While AVG doesn't have the
across-the-board top scores that Bitdefender and Kaspersky boast, it's
definitely up there with the best free products.
Solid
Free Protection
AVG AntiVirus Free earned very good scores in independent lab tests and in our own tests. Not superb across-the-board scores like the top-rated commercial antivirus products, but definitely on par with Editors' Choice Panda Free Antivirus. It's definitely a good choice for free antivirus, and joins Panda as Editors' Choice.
