And in this case Meaner is Better! Because it's mean to the Viruses, not the Users, I promise!!!
AVG the popular free Antivirus software has been has been a long time personal favourite of mine because of it's unobtrusive nature, it protects you without having to "pop-up" constantly like many other free and not-free anti-virus applications. And things are about to get even better! Starting with AVG 9.0 you will see a lot of improvements in both speed and stability while still maintaining that "out of the way" style I've come to appreciate so much!
While AVG the free edition in the past hasn't been a "whole solution" as it didn't address many spyware and malware issues, when coupled with Microsofts free Windows Defender they make a great, free, reliable and stable security package.
With AVG 9.0, AVG is going back to basics and focusing on performance, protection, and the user experience. For example, the installation has been shortened by 50%, the user interface has been refined, scan times have been reduced by up to 50%, and boot time and memory usage have been improved by 10% to 15%.
Additionally, AVG 9.0 delivers improved anti-phishing detection through enhancements to its LinkScanner offering, which can now more quickly and accurately determine whether or not a web page is hosting a phishing attack.
This is accomplished by allowing the software to apply more than 100 different potential threat indicators to a page. If the result is inconclusive, LinkScanner then makes a call to the cloud to check a multitude of phishing feeds plugged into the AVG research network to make a final determination regarding threat potential.
AVG 9.0 Free should be available for downloads somewhere in Mid-October. If you have been using earlier versions of AVG, AVG 9.0 is a recommended update as definitely improves on several aspects.
