How to Remove Found Viruses With AVG

by Jesse Seilhan

Overview

AVG offers a variety of protection solutions, including a free antivirus and an internet security or fuller anti-virus for a small fee, but all products work essentially in the same manner. While a paid anti-virus gives you the benefit of constant updates and definitions, the free version does an acceptable job at protection and removal. When given the choice between AVG Free and AVG Paid, you will be better protected with the paid version.
