Review
AVG Antivirus 2012 is a high performing computer
security program and provides complete virus
protection for consumer computers through its
antivirus engine that works in conjunction with
an antispyware detection system with light usage
on system resources and updates automatically.
It also offers real time protection against
continually emerging threats, through its powerful
Cloud Technology.
When it comes to the installation
process, AVG Antivurs 2012, is efficient and
can be set up easily even by users that are
not so technically savvy. The installation process
is straightforward and can be quickly done without
requiring a reboot on the system.
It also comes with a comprehensive
set of features that is a part of its strength.
Such features are designed to give users with
protection and ease of use. Included in the
features are AVG Online Shield that inspects
the files first before you download them and
will inform you if the online chat links are
safe or not. The AVG Social Networking Protection
allows automatic inspection of links on social
networking sites in real time to keep you and
your friends safe.
Like the 2011 version, AVG
Antivirus 2012 also provides non-stop protection
and non-stop action. You don’t have to
run scheduled updates and perform scanning while
watching movie or playing game to ensure that
you don’t get any annoying interruptions
while having fun. It is efficient, fast and
quiet whole excellent at looking out for any
potential threats.
This new version of AVG antivirus
doubled the amount of antivirus and signature
definition updates so the software checked automatically
every after four hours but it can be changed
depending on your needs and preference.
AVG remained its reputation
in providing strong antivirus software. One
of the remarkable features of this new version
is the addition of cloud antivirus technology.
It also has an advanced and comprehensive web
protection from LinkScanner. The downside though
is there is Firewall which is a bit odd since
most of the top antivirus software today incorporate
Firewall to intensify the protection level they
can provide. Overall, AVG is impressive and
comprehensive software that delivers extreme
protection. If it only has a firewall, it could
have been one of the strongest contenders of
antivirus software that can equip your computer
with a defense mechanism against all sorts of
viruses
