AVG Antivirus continues to gain the popularity of being one of the most popular free antivirus software on the net; thanks to the great combination of an easy to use interface and effective protection. After releasing AVG Antivirus 8.0 almost a year ago, AVG recently rolled out AVG Antivirus 8.5 Free Edition which is now available free of charge to home users.
With Rapid virus database updates available for the lifetime of the product, it definitely provides precise detection capability that protects millions of computer users around the world.
In this latest version 8.5, we can see the addition of new security toolbar for Anti-spyware as well as the new feature called LinkScanner Active Surf-Shield. The latter will check every Web page for threats at the only time that matters - when you're about to click on the link.
AVG Antivirus 8.5 Free Edition is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
