AVG Antivirus Free 2011 Review and Test

[MrKahchi]

SWITCH TO AVIRA!

[GroinFaceGroin]

Avast urinates all over AVG any day. I'd rather bash myself repeatedly in the testicles than go back to using that rubbish program. Catching a deadly disease from a psychopathic stalker ex-girlfriend is preferable to AVG. Oh, and did I mention AVG sucks?

[rbanister100]

Don't pay for SUBSCRIPTIONS for Anti-Virus Software. Your wasting money.

Want a HD, STEP-BY-STEP install video for AVG 2011.

Come and visit my channel, rbanister100. Just go to the search bar on YouTube, and type in rbanister100. Then look for my video on installing AVG 2011. Simple enough. I think you will be glad you did.

[PuR3OwNaGe45]

Yo having different anti-virus together on your computer will make slow n possibly crash.

[eerems97]

YOU CANT REMOVE IT FROM YOUR COMPUTER! IT JUST FUCKS UP YOUR COMPUTER WHEN YOU TRY!

[eerems97]

ITS FAKE DONT DOWNLOAD IT!

[sparten11742]

Should I get a defender pro 15 in 1 or avg?

[TheNeohax]

@sparten11742

get Avast 5 and Malwarebytes, both of these are trusted.

Defender Pro 15 - 1 is a rouge and avg sucks ass and won't let you remove it from your computer.

[FormatxCwalk]

yesy

I want Ya'll to know, AVG is good I've used it to keep my alien ware investment safe for 2 years.  The key is to be sure you download it from the right Website, I use it on my old PC and all pc's I fix up. if you have any issue at all post on their FaceBook Page and they'll help you + you have the entire community

[cmdtrk1]

ID shield behavior blocker with AVG is a waste of time, Browsers dont need these useless apps that cause more problems than good and spy on all your internet usage,

[cmdtrk1]

AVG 1 of the worst on the market, full of problems and issues, My advice to anyone is stay well away from anything GRISOFT.COM especially AVG antivirus. EVERY ASPECT OF MY SYSTEM WAS HIJACKED BY AVG, when i unistalled this trash i was left with no internet connection as avg had hijacked this aswell. 4 hours later im back online but it wasnt worth the trouble downloading an antivirus that infected my pc in ways ive never seen. AVG IS ABSOLUTE JUNK A SCAM AND CON. be very careful of AVG

[dragonite387]

@cmdtrk1 it works fine for me, dl it from their website

[belmarfilms]

The ID shield is a behavior blocker to protect against zero-day malware.

[MrTheSupermariobros]

The Best one for windows is Kaspersky and Bitdfender is the strongest antivirus AVG is a lieng scammer that is so dumb it gets crack with a linense code

[MultiEggboy]

AVG is alright. It is one of my more preferred programs, except I don't like how it has to fight with the virus before it removes.

[gmoiasovghb87fa]

Good antivirus , but I think is a bit slow..

[seluarkotak2]

wahh... train...

[diegodaudt]

You have to pause the Comodo before doing your tests

[JamaicanBoy41]

Norton Best, this is fact

[Stranskii]

Avast 6 gives no Problems , go to Avast forums before you talked such ...

[artysha88]

[TheBuckbull]

@artysha88 you don't have to but it will tell you about dangerous sites

[neckroopimp]

[TheIStech]

Internet Security is way better

[marnez390]

AVG is NOT AVAST, AVG gives problems, AVAST doesn't

[TartarKid]

Avast is the best, but AVG is a very close second.

[TheBuckbull]

@NellylarK avg

[HolyHavoc444]

[TheBuckbull]

@HolyHavoc444 my opinion avast

[winsevenholic]

[MrTritran]

donnt used microsoft security Ess mate it fucking very hard to uninstall and it is not very good

[logindude44]

when u first downloaded it did u press Run or Save

[TheBuckbull]

@logindude44 save i think

[logindude44]

how long did urs take to download

[acdcgreatestbandever]

Just curious, you have a notepad list of websites that contains all the zero-day threats you use to test the antivirus in a virtual machine (i assume). Where do you go to find that list? I type in stuff like "zero day threat list" and come up empty in google. Could you point me in the right direction? I would like to try out trial versions of AV as well like you to see which one works best. As always, keep on doing what you're doing. Great job again mate.

[TheBuckbull]

@acdcgreatestbandever thanks a lot man. i go to a site called malwaredomainlist it has all the links there which i just copy and paste.

[Ooabloka]

I set my aunt up with free AVG 2011 and I've been since thinking if Microsoft Security Essentials would have been a better way to go. This review helps show me that AVG is an effective and user-friendly antivirus so I think she will be satisfied with it.

[aidenurman]

Avg better then Norton ?

[TheBuckbull]

@aidenurman no i prefer norton better. but avg is a solid free antivirus

[aidenurman]

@TheBuckbull So Nortons better to remove keyloggers ?

[TheBuckbull]

@aidenurman yes in my opinion are you sure you have a keylogger?

[aidenurman]

@TheBuckbull Naa I don't have a keylogger well I don't think I do but i play a lot of MMO games and heeps of people get hacked from keyloggers and a lot of people say norton won't remove them.

[michaeljs93]

so the 2011 is better then the 2010(avg free 9.0) right?

[TheBuckbull]

@michaeljs93 yes much better

[MrGAZABOSS09]

i have the avg 2011 but when i go in program files am seeing avg 2010 why is that so ??

[redbad7]

It needs " to add something against zero day threats" when it just zapped ALL the zero days in this test? WTF? And it maybe a behavior blocker? Identity Protection is a behavior blocker, real time. All AVG releases are now in the cloud - also good against zero day as is LinkScanner (Website filter).

[TheBuckbull]

@redbad7 listen my opinion is avg still needs improvement and i did not know at that time that identity protection was considered a behavior blocker. in my mind identity protection in antiviruses are those useless anti phishing toolbars. yes avg has stepped it up but there are better free alternatives that i prefer.

[redbad7]

@TheBuckbull Oh. OK. Sorry. My bad. I am not very smart. I thought all those samples blocked in this test were zero day threats. So AVG does need as you say in your exact words "to add something against zero day threats." Are you planning on a re-test any time soon against zero day threats? Thank you.

[TheBuckbull]

@redbad7 no these were zero day threats and i already said that avg has improved and i din't know identity protection was a behavior blocker. avg is a good choice for a free antivirus and i am not saying it did a bad job or anything like that. all i am trying to say is i think there are better options available then avg.

[dakkon74]

Regarding RAM, you really only need the main module and IDP. Most people use web mail, making the email module unnecessary. And Linkscanner duplicates what modern web browsers already do. With just the main module and IDP, it uses about 15-20 meg of ram on my PC. Pretty light, and also low with disk IO and CPU time.

[sladelloyd]

@buckbull oh thanks man I totally missed that thanks I will watch it now, sorry about that

[sladelloyd]

@buckbull no problem man and thank you for making these reviews they are all awesome! You do a great job! keep up the good work! :) Could you review bitdefender 2011 please? Thanks! :)

[TheBuckbull]

@sladelloyd thanks and i already reviewed bitdefender 2011 check my channel

[OcloOppo]

Correction, AVG does have heuristics. That's what their new identity protection module does.

[malwarewiki]

Anti-Rootkit + ID (Identity Protect) in free version this si great thumbs up for AVG

[kevintherocket2]

Wow, im suprised, what a much better improvement for AVG. Great review, "Like" from me! :D

[TheBuckbull]

@kevintherocket2 thanks a lot yea it got much better

[coo446]

I got Paid version and my Interface is Sky Blue with some white

[noidea2854]

i might go to avg

[SuperHusher]

Hey Buckbull

Nice to see you again with another¨great review/test. I am not a AVG - man but anyway it seems Avg have made a solid Antivirus-solution. And to you credit, you do much better Reviews than languy99. Why do I say that, because I think that he preach to much about his new found religion Comodo. That you do not.

And thats why you are Cool.

Best Regards.

[TheBuckbull]

@SuperHusher thanks a lot man yea i personally never been a huge fan of avg but it has definitely improved. and yea i try to not be bias or talk about a particular product too much but comodo is one of the best products out there and i really like it as well

[SuperHusher]

@TheBuckbull Hey Again

I totally agree with you, Buckbull

Best Regards

[bbbbweb]

@SuperHusher Check out kevintherocket3

[sele111]

hey Buckbull nice review.....can you test pc tool antivirus 8 please!!!!!!!!?????????ty mann...

[TheBuckbull]

@sele111 thanks man yea sure i'll test it

[OcloOppo]

what the heck, on their website it says that you don't get identity protection in the free version, but you do.

[Eragon86micky]

Wow, that's awesome

Good job, AVG!

[1234avast]

wow wow and wow  avg free has changed a lot

[ilkerol1986]

Identitiy protection is very impressive! It is good as ThreatFire and SONAR. Also i liked Go to File option because we can check the file on Virustotal before deleting.

[ilkerol1986]

Identitiy protection is very impressive! It is good as ThreatFire and SONAR.

[ilkerol1986]

It takes time to delete the detected files just like in MSE. They should improve it. AVG 2011 Free is very good, Avast is very good and the coming beta of MSE will be good. What do you think about comparision video of the three antiviruses ?

[ilkerol1986]

In the AVG comparision table they dont mention about Identity Protection under the Free Antivirus Columm

[MrManuelibarra]

u should of restarted so we can see it the ram usage goes down nice review

[OntOSZ]

nice review man, avg has definetly improved it's detection rate but its speed performance still needs some work. Thanks

[TheBuckbull]

@OntOSZ no problem thanks yea i felt a slow down

[sladelloyd]

AVG does have a behavior blocker. It's identity protection is a behavior blocker. Just lettin you know man great review as always! Keep up the fantastic work :)

[TheBuckbull]

@sladelloyd oh really i didn't know it was considered a behavior blocker but thanks for telling me and thanks for watching man

[MrXidus]

Fancy that I'm impressed. But with the RAM I was really hoping they improve that. Great review bucky, I also like its new dark GUI.

[TheBuckbull]

@MrXidus Yea ram usage needs to be decreased and the theme is nice like you said. still for free a very decent product. thanks for watching man

[victorh2007]

I am impressed by this new AVG Antivirus Free edition performance. It did a great job! You are right, they need to reduce RAM usage and also develop a behavior guard. Thanks a lot for your excellent review! All the best my friend!

[TheBuckbull]

@victorh2007 Your very welcome! if they could reduce ram usage and introduce a behavior blocker they would be one of the better antivirus software out there. But still for a free product its very good.Thanks for watching and all the best to you too!

[jesus272007]

The system process, "System.exe", is using far more memory with avg installed (around 105 mb).

[TheShadowkiddx]

They do need to improve there RAM Usage, because its a bit high.

[TheShadowkiddx]

wow, AVG did a great job, it blocked everything, if there free one is this good, there Security Suite(paid) must be great! Great Review.

[TheBuckbull]

@TheShadowkiddx thanks man yes i will test the suite as you said if free version is good the suite must be even better

[OcloOppo]

lol dude i just tryed to test this today but my Virtual Machine was going SUPER slow.

[FangTutorialz]

Nicely done i've seen that AVG has been improved alot i actually waited for this version TY for the Review Thats a LIKE

[TheBuckbull]

@FangTutorialz no problem and thanks yes it has improved a lot

[cheater87]

Nice anti rootkit is free now. :D Finally. They were the only free AV for a while that had NO rootkit protection.
