Grisoft is announcing the release of a new line of products - AVG 7.5.
The migration of current users of AVG to AVG 7.5 will be performed by Optional update.
This antivirus program for your home or office computer is easy on system resources and simple to install and use. The fully automated update process will keep your computer protected at all times.

Components include AVG Email Scanner, which checks your incoming and outgoing e-mail for viruses; AVG Resident Shield, which checks for viruses as files are opened, executed, and saved and will prevent you from opening or running an infected file; and AVG Virus Vault, a place where infected files are isolated so they cannot cause damage to your system.

AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition is ideal for private, non-commercial use. (Use of AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition = within any organization or for commercial purposes is strictly prohibited.)

New in AVG 7.5:
- Improved virus detection based on better heuristics and NTFS data streams scanning
- Smaller installation and update files
- Improved user interface
- Windows Vista ready
- and more

The good:
- Easy to install and use
- Real-time antivirus protection of files and e-mails
- Maximum security - recent certifications include VB100%, ICSA, and West Coast Labs Checkmark
- Regular and automatic database and program updates
- Windows and Linux
- And most of all ... great customer satisfaction!

The bad:
With the free edition you don't get:
- Anti-Spyware
- Anti-Spam
- 24x7 Technical Support
- Fastest updates
- Multiple languages
- Detailed settings
- Consent for commercial use
However, all benefits and much more are available with AVG Anti-Virus Professional Edition, AVG Anti-Malware, and AVG Internet Security.

Conclusions:
AVG Antivirus is fairly popular due to its reputation as a "free" antivirus program.
AVG 7.5 starts automatically with Windows and runs in the background, providing real-time virus protection. It has a very low overhead and seems to be extremely unobtrusive. At no time did the system seem to run slower or exhibit any problems with AVG running in the background which is something you can't say about some commercial antivirus software.
We believe that all the new AVG products and improvements will be of great asset to your personal computer.
