Download AVG 9.0 AntiVirus, Anti-Spyware And Anti-Rootkit Software

According to AV-Comparative.org, AVG is rated as a four star antivirus software out of five. I’ve never tried the full version before, having said that, I do have the free edition installed on both desktops. Based on my own personal experience, its a pretty solid antivirus.

If you use your computer every day, you need protection that’s always there, constantly keeping you safe. With AVG 9 Anti-Virus, you get hassle-free protection against today’s most sophisticated threats, online and offline.

Somehow the latest trend among antivirus company is speed, low memory usage, constant updates. I guess the anti virus engine by most security company has matured to a certain level where detection rate is pretty high. Some of the features:

• Game Mode
• Anti-Rootkit
• Anti-Spyware
• LinkScanner® Search-Shield
• E-mail Scanner

As you can see from the screenshot above, the user interface is cleaner. Major task are divided into 3 different tabs, making the overall user interface easier to understand.

Two of its new features I find interesting is the intergration of Anti-Rootkit, this ensures even the toughest and most sophisticated threats are kept off your PC. The other new features is Linkscanner, it applies safety ratings to your Google, Bing/MSN and Yahoo search results.

As Windows and Linux becomes more secure with each release, hacking is not as easy as it used to be. Therefore hackers has restored to web phishing. AVG 9 has everything covered. I believe the free edition is not too far away from official release, probably in a month or two.
