AVG Internet Security 8.0

AVG Internet Security 8.0Software RequestAVG's actual performance, on the other hand, was quite good. Anti-Virus correctly identified and quarantined each of several viruses and spyware we had put in place. Real-time scanning was quick and didn't noticeably slow down Web surfing.
