AVG Free Edition is the well-known antivirus protection tool. [1]

AVG Technologies, formerly Grisoft, has updated AVG Free to Version 8.0. [2]

Czech Republic - April 23, 2008 ‘ AVG Technologies, a leading provider of Internet security software, will tomorrow release AVG Anti-Virus Free 8.0, the latest version of the company’s popular and widely-used free security software, which now incorporates protection against spyware through a new combined anti-virus and anti-spyware engine. [3]

As of AVG 8.0, the commercial edition AVG Anti-Virus 8.0 product includes the AVG Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, LinkScanner, Anti-Rootkit, Web Shield and Security Toolbar protection technologies. [4]

… there’s no antirootkit protection, and other features included in AVG Anti-Virus such as instant message and download protections are also missing. [2]

As we know, AVG anti virus free edition has been widely use as a free security software for home user for computer security protection. [5]

You must be 13 years of age or older to submit personal information to CNET Networks. [1]

Finally AVG anti virus 8.0 free edition is released for download after two month that AVG Anti virus 8.0 license copy is out. [5]

AVG is an umbrella term for a range of antivirus and internet security software for the Microsoft Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD computing platforms, developed by AVG Technologies. [4]

Highlights include automatic update functionality, the AVG Resident Shield, which provides real-time protection as files are opened and programs are run, free Virus Database Updates for the lifetime of the product, and AVG Virus Vault for safe handling of infected files. [1]

The Free product does not include the proactive safe-surfing (’drive-by download’ protection) of the full LinkScanner module that is included in the commercial AVG products, nor the protection against hackers, keyloggers, spam, phishing attacks, and malicious file downloads that can come through instant messaging and attachments from seemingly friendly sources. [3]

Though the free version of this program will suffice for average folks, those who demand more control should certainly consider AVG Anti-Virus Professional. [1]

Meanwhile, the AVG anti virus 8.0 free edition not only does protect your system from viruses, but also enhances their features by giving spyware detection and Safe search utilities as well. [5]

As before, AVG Free 8.0 features all the essential functions of AVG Internet Security, but none of the bells and whistles. [2]

AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.0 includes the AVG Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware protection, plus the AVG Search-Shield component of the patent pending LinkScanner technology. [4]
