Green circles indicate that protection is active and no issues require attention. Unfortunately, some of the same issues that plagued last year’s release are still present including a rather lengthy installation process requiring almost constant user input and difficulty installing AVG on a system already plagued with malware infection.įive large buttons greet the user when the AVG interface is opened – each representing one of the five major protections offered by the program: Computer, Web, Identity, Email and Firewall (unfortunately, Firewall protection is only available in the Internet Security Suite). While the revamped interface will still be familiar to users of previous iterations of the product, new customers not quite sold on Metro UI won’t be disappointed with the newly designed interface AVG offers. One of the most significant changes to AVG Antivirus for 2015 is the migration away from a user interface designed with a look and feel similar to the Windows 8 Metro UI. Referred to as AVG Antivirus Pro 2015, this product offers many features not typically found in comparably priced competitive solutions. For a nominal annual fee, however, users receive additional features not available in the free 2015 release. Trusted by over 172 million users worldwide, AVG is perhaps most well-known for its free antivirus offering as it is considered one of the most functional and reliable free solutions currently available. Works with: Windows XP (32-bit) (SP2), Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows 8 (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows 8.1 (32-bit and 64-bit)
