Grisoft AVG Anti-Virus can be downloaded from the Grisoft website (http://www.grisoft.com/doc/products-avg-anti-virus-free-edition/us/crp/2), free of charge. Included with the free edition of Grisoft AVG Anti-Virus, are many of the features consumers would expect from an anti-virus program such as real time protection, automatic virus definition updates, and a scan configuration option. Grisoft will be initially downloaded as the full version of the program, for which the user has a 30-day trial period. After the 30-day trial period expires, either you can continue using Grisoft AVG Anti-Virus as free software, or you may purchase a license for a small fee.
Grisoft AVG Anti-Virus is extremely easy to download and install. Once you download the program, it takes less than twenty minutes to install and configure, before you can begin using the product.
Once you install Grisoft AVG Anti-Virus, you will see a Grisoft AVG Anti-Virus Control Center icon in your computer's system tray. Use the Control Center to configure Grisoft AVG Anti-Virus to meet your individual needs. Utilities and functions that are available in the control center include a virus scan scheduler, virus definition update scheduler, as well as a tool that will allow you to select specific files, folders and disk drives to scan for viruses.
The scheduling features found in Grisoft AVG Anti-Virus will allow you to set updates and scans for times when you generally aren't in front of your computer, such as overnight while you sleep. By setting these features for overnight hours, you won't have to sacrifice productivity for protection.
