AVG Anti-Virus 9.0 Free provides the bare requirements when it comes to security, but that should be sufficient for savvy Windows users. You'll get a combined antivirus and antimalware engine, LinkScanner, and e-mail scanning.
AVG Anti-Virus 9.0 introduces a few new features, with betterments focused on performance, including claims of faster scan and boot times. One new feature is the Identity Theft Recovery Unit. Only for users in the United States, ITRU is a business partnership with Identity Guard which provides "consumer identity theft solutions," accessible only from the AVG toolbar in Firefox and Internet Explorer.

A scheduling utility automates both scans and updates, while the upgrade ad at the screen's bottom can be easily hidden using the Hide Notification button. When starting a scan, a slider makes it easy to start between Slow, Automatic, and Fast scans: the faster the scan, the less comprehensive it is, so users should take advantage of the scan optimization that is recommended during installation to speed up that first scan.
A progress meter for regular scans would've been useful, though. Should a virus create serious problems, AVG creates a rescue disk to scan your computer in MS-DOS mode.
The LinkScanner characteristic protects you from third-party code exploits before they load in your web browser and for ranking search results.
Annoyingly, when you install its optional toolbar, it commandeers your new-tab page, decidedly inappropriate behavior. The program doesn't obviously tax your system when scanning or when running in the background, although CNET Labs learned that it will significantly slow down your system's boot time, and slightly delay shutting down. There are various cracks for AVG Antivirus 9.0 available but it is recommended that you should always go for licence copy or free version which will keep the virus, spyware at bay.
AVG Anti-Virus 9.0 also observed some image files as threats, when two other scans decided they weren't--we decided these were false positives. AVG might not be the fastest or the most effective free security option, but it still gets the job done and you're better off with it.
