This antiviral program offers rock-solid protection for no financial commitment. AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition provides all the necessities, including a tool for scanning your hard drive and e-mail, as well as a real-time shield to prevent infections.
So basically, its a good virus/spyware scanner and it scans your files as they come in. I know that when you google you gets lots and lots of hits to get it free anyway, but you get some sort of 50% deal than, that is not completely functional. This is how you can have the real deal for free, and its easy so definitely worth your time.
Downloading
Ofcourse your going to need the software first, you can get the trial here which works fine when "un-trialed":
Link to download from avg.com
The next thing your going to have to do is find a working serial, i will not post it here because that's against orangeswarm rules, but i know that http://www.serials.be delivers good serials in text format, so no downloading. Simply fill in the avg 8.5 in the search, fill in the captcha and the serials pop up.
Don't get blacklisted
Now comes the important part to keep you from being blacklisted, when you get on there you wont get this to work anymore.
Exactly follow these steps and you'll be fine:
- Open up AVG
- Go to: Tools > Advanced Settings > URL
- Once there you take the check mark off "backup"
- Then you edit the primary URL to be the following: http://backup.grisoft.com/softw/80/update/
Upon doing this you should not have problems till the subscription runs out. oh yeah, the expiration date (that is if you have a good serial) can go for a while, my version expires at 26-02-2018… So that means lots and lots of free time.
The last thing is, that you do have to check your updates as it doesn't always automatically update, so just check once a week, or simply before running a scan and you'll be fine.
