AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.5 is a PC Thick Client based anti-virus solution. You download a thick client (approximately 62 MB) from the Internet. Once the software is installed, the software uses the traditional method of contacting the AVG servers for updates of known viruses & malware to help protect your computer.
The user schedules the frequency of updates (I recommend once a day) and the software takes care of the rest. Same with system scans. (I recommend at least once a week). I've used for 3+ years and have nothing but good things to say. I am always on the lookout for better solutions, so I have tried a lot of anti-virus products, free & fee based. I keep coming back to AVG Anti-Virus for my thick client based solution.
The one drawback to thick client anti-virus programs is that can tend to slow down your machine a little bit, especially if you have an older machine. In these caes I recommend trying the new cloud based anti-virus from Panda.
