Probably the only free antivirus software you're likely to find.
Split into three sections and a Control Centre, AVG Anti-virus protects against viruses in a number of key areas. The Resident Shield works in the background and checks all files and file types (including floppy disk, CD content etc.) for viruses, while the AVG email scanner works with Microsoft Exchange and Outlook to prevent even the most prolific of viruses infiltrating your PC. The AVG Boot-up Scanner operates at start-up, and checks the most important areas of a PC before you begin to use it. Every aspect of AVG's virus protection can be configured using the Control Centre, which allows you to modify a number of program settings and to schedule scans, among other things.
