Comment Grisoft & Intel (Score 2, Interesting) 191
I would not be surprised if someone in management at Intel tried AVG Free and liked it enough to "buy the company". I would think that the free version would continue to be available.
It's a good product; effective, low resource usage, and updated often. I have found Norton to be a TERRIBLE resource hog. McAfee is a bit better, but buggy (in my opinion).
What I ESPECIALLY like is the reponsiveness of the company itself. Version 6 had a fixed installation location; I believe in installing security software like a firewall, anti-spyware, and virus checkers to non-standard locations to at least help thwart possible attempts to disable them through malware. When I suggested via e-mail that the company change their installer to allow varying the installation location, it was clear they took me seriously -- and, lo-and-behold, version 7 allows the user to do just that.
