One of the best software products one should have installed on his or her PC is the antivirus and anti-spyware. This is because viruses and other security threats like malware and spyware can transform your PC by changing its settings without your knowledge of what is happening, hence hindering its smooth functionality.
From personal experience, AVG is one of the best free antiviruses available. In addition to its good functionality in terms of virus blockage, it also manages to scan all the emails. In fact, AVG scans all the incoming as well as an outgoing attachment in the emails, thoroughly checking for any trace of virus that might have accompanied these emails. This protects both the sender and the recipient of the email attachments. In fact, AVG does a scan of all the emails, whether it has attachments or not, to ensure that those window users who are targeted with viruses such as Nimda are protected. Its simple installation and setup procedure is making it software that one would not want to miss.
The other important aspect of AVG antivirus is in its property that allows updates and alerts of what is happening within the emails and security to your PC. This is important to window users who do a lot of emailing activities since they are prone to daily viruses that accompany the emails. It has one of the quickest alerts among the available software in the market. Although I have used AVG mostly in Windows 98 PC, its manufacturer, Grisoft recommends that the versions of Windows that work best with the antivirus are Windows 2000, XP, Me, 95, and NT.
