After 18 years in the security sector (and new versions of its software), AVG finally purchased in the cycle, from the 9th version of the new edition of 2011. Real software seems to have changed much, but it is not a bad sign: its predecessor was our favourite free security package, balance between decent protection with good features and relatively nag-free experience.
On the front of detection, 2011 cans up the good work.He picked 91% of our test immediately, and when we run samples threats he picked up another 2%, for an overall score of 93 %.C'est exactly the same as version 9, and although it is not quite there with the score of 96% of the A - Listed Norton Internet Security 2011 it on an equal footing with an abundance of commercial kits.
You always get free LinkScanner module, which adds warnings (or reassuring tick) for search results, more integration mode and automatic game now includes support IMAP and POP email
New features are there for enthusiasts. The AVG Windows 7 gadget is a useless gadget and the rest, the updates are very minimal: for example, a "fix" button in the main interface, and a feature that checks automatically links you post Facebook or MySpace.There is a module "PC Analyzer" registry errors and the like, but do not be fooled: when you click on effectively to solve your PC, you're sent to a web page to purchase the module for a ridiculous $ 30 (about £ 19) per year.
Curiously, despite the absence of significant additions of AVG RAM has increased.When version 9 tipped scales to 49 MB, the new edition (with the default installation options) triple more qui.Son impact on startup time and initialization is become too, 11 - 4 seconds still enough average for a suite of security, but a way to class high performance last year.
We're also disappointed that AVG had become somewhat pushier when it comes to upsell you the commercial package.Now, when you run Setup for the free Edition, the default option is to install a limited Suite trial paid pour.Il goes without saying that the large advert sliding for the commercial package at the bottom of the main interface remains.
In all, even if the new name of AVG turned towards the future, the changes are rétrogrades.En fairness, however, once you're up to run is yet discrete malware detection and decent employment and its set of functionality that Microsoft Security Essentials published nu.Pour this ground, AVG remains our favorite free security package, but when a warning: it is a step in the wrong direction.doigts crossed for 2012 AVG.
