DOWNLOADING AVG FREE
Warning for users of anti-virus programs other than AVG: You must NOT
run two anti-virus programs
on a computer, they will conflict. When the downloaded AVG file is
safely stored in your Downloads folder, uninstall your current anti-virus
program. Go to
Start
-->
Control panel-->Add/remove programs.
If you already have an older version of AVG
there is
no need to uninstall it, the new AVG will do this for you
automatically. AVG has made it difficult
to avoid downloading the paid-for version. To ensure you download the
free
version follow these steps.

How good is AVG free? I was a
great fan of AVG free, but it is no longer as thorough as the Avast anti-virus
program. When AVG announced in 2015 that it was was going to sell private
information to
advertisers, I decided to switch to Avast. I object to having my details sold to
advertisers which is why I never use Google, Facebook or Twitter
