Overview:
AVG 8.0 offers a completely new multi-threaded scanning engine that combines anti-virus and anti-spyware while retaining the product's signature small footprint and scanning efficiency. Additional protection is provided in the form of safe searching and safe surfing protection acquired through the recent purchase of Exploit Prevention Labs, rootkit detection, basic security for MSN and ICQ instant messaging, and detection of malware-infected files on websites.
AVG 8.0 is designed to protect users against current and future threats without impacting system performance, a task made significantly easier by the completely redesigned user interface and inclusion of the handy AVG Security Toolbar. AVG 8.0 delivers a significant number of new benefits to users designed to deliver enhanced protection against the latest web-borne threats without sacrificing the product's signature efficiency and unobtrusiveness.
In addition to the LinkScanner web exploit protection, other significant new benefits include faster scanning performance through a multi-threaded scanning engine that leverages the latest multi-core hardware; protection against rootkits and system intrusion; security for MSN and ICQ instant messaging; and detection of infected file downloads. The completely redesigned user interface makes it easy for novice users to benefit from comprehensive out-of-the-box protection while enabling more advanced users to perform extensive customization of the product.
Integrated protection:
* Anti-Virus: protection against viruses, worms and trojans
* Anti-Spyware: protection against spyware, adware and identity-theft
* Anti-Rootkit: protection against hidden threats (rootkits)
* Web Shield & LinkScanner: protection against malicious websites
* Easy-to-use, automated protection
Real-time protection, automatic updates, low-impact background scanning for on-line threats, and instant quarantining or removal of infected files ensures maximum protection. Every interaction between your computer and the Internet is monitored, so nothing can get onto your system without your knowledge. AVG scans in real time:
* All files including documents, pictures and applications
* E-mails (all major email clients supported)
* Instant messaging and P2P communications
* File downloads and online transactions such as shopping and banking

Great software. Easy to use. Does not slow down your computer. Does not remove vital files. Excellent support service. Reasonable price. Before AVG, I had purchased McAfee and Norton -- I removed both from my computers because they both caused major malfunctions.

I would not waste my money to buy this software. It's a good alternative while you search for a better anti-virus, but don't depend on it...

to tell the truth, you should not be writing a review unless u are a 15 year computer user who has degrees in Information Technology like me. I have been using AVG 8 since it has been out and have had no such problems. I use AVG 8 along with Ad-aware and Spybot Search & Destroy programs and am Virus, Trojan, Hijacker, and Rogue Antivirus free... Learn to use a computer before you discourage other people from useing good software.
