Costumer Reviews

This is one is a generous security kit - 4 PCs for 24 Months! AVG Internet Security 2012 has a new look and for the better.

Installation was a bit slow compared to Norton and Kaspersky, I am sure the problem is not my internet connection. At launch, you get to the overview scree. On the left sidebar are three links, overview, Scan Now and Update now.

Overview:

This is what you get upon launching the Antivirus. It gives access to all components as follows: Antivirus, LinkScanner, Email Protection, Firewall, Anti-Rootkit, System Tools, PC Analyser, Identity Protection and Family Safety. Each component prominently shows whether or not it is active or disabled so any user will be able to tell if all is well or some components are disabled.

The Virus scanner is quite fast and does not slow d.own the PC. You use it to scan for all malware such as viruses, trojans, worms etc. For rootkits, you use the dedicated Anti-Rootkit component. The PC Analyser comes handy in that you do not need a separate Systems Cleaner Software. This tool will scan your PC for junk files, registry errors, fragmented files and broken shortcuts, displaying scan results for your action. I found 312 junk files, and 354 registry errors. The Defragmentation analysis takes quite something so you have to be patient on this one.

Email protection is great and incredibly easy. You just check/ uncheck to have your incoming. outgoing mail to be scanned. If you are an advanced user, you acn get your hands dirty in the advanced settings where you can cofigure various settings including incoming and outgoing mail server ports, work with email blacklists and whitelist. The Antispam is useless to say the list. I still got as much spam as before. However don't be hard on AVG even Kaspersky failed to fight span. Now don't be too hard on the both of them, spammers are becoming too clever, as I see that they now combine all the words to form one long word but they know you can still read (if you want, I don't, I just delete) and you cannot create any words to be used by your antispam as you wont guess all the combinations they will create!

The LinkScanner is really great. I tested it (risking my PC security) by going to websites that are listed on Antispam websites as well as those websites that play by the rules. For spam sites, the link scanner used yellow to red icons depending on how dangerous the site is rated by AVG. Hovering on the link gives further information including possible activities on the bad guy's site. For the good websites, the linkscanner showed a green icon. So it's upto you to either continue or change your mind. You are still protected (if you selected to be protected) while surfing and you will get an alert should something suspicious come along.

This is a top security software, and I recommend it. I just wish AVG works on the Antivirus scanner as it tends to give more false positives comapred to the other sotware I have used like Kaspersky and Norton.

Having used AVG 2012 for a month I have to say I avery impressed with its stability and easy to understand user interface. It hasn't slowed down my computer like previous programs I have used but I found the pop-up messages annoying until I figured out how to configure them. Defintely better than Panda and Kaspersky ans less problematic and memory heavy than Norton on my mums system.
